Many pastry and baking schools offer certificate, diploma, associate degree, bachelor degree, or even master's degree programs. The minimal degree you really need to start working as a pastry chef is a diploma or certificate, only takes about a year, and can be obtained from a technical school.

You must attend culinary arts school. There are many, many schools throughout the country. Some are stand-alone, proprietary schools, others are part of a tech school and others still are through a community college. In addition to the training, you can opt to pick up a specialty as a pastry chef, caterer, personal chef, etc.

Depends on the training-depth/intensity (at either community-college/vocational-school/culinary-institute/university): Self-taught: as quick or long as it takes you; Certificate or Diploma: 6 to 12-months full-time; Associate's-degree: 2-years full-time; Bachelor's-degree: 4-years full-time. Part-time (evening/weekend) educational-programs take longer. You can usually get a better-job or position with better-credentials. If you are going into business for yourself, more-experience & training usually benefits.

To become a pastry chef you will have to go through cooking school which includes topics outside of the realm of a pastry chef. Typically this course of schooling takes approximately 2 years often followed by an internship or apprenticeship of about 6 months to a year.
