BIC Ljubljana

BIC Ljubljana has a rich tradition in the field of confectionery education in Slovenia. It follows the latest trends in confectionery, but also revives, preserves and, if necessary, adapts recipes from the culinary heritage to the needs of the present. Teachers at BIC Ljubljana have slightly adapted the recipe for Vodnik's soft pretzels, and as part of the confectionery workshops, high school students bake them in the confectioner's program.
