BOLOGNA, Italy, July 28 (UPI) -- The director of an Italian school for prospective ice cream-makers said about 12,000 people enrolled in the dessert-making courses this year.

Kaori Ito, director of Gelato University, near Bologna, said some 12,000 people signed up this year to take courses including technical lectures, practical courses and instructions on traditional gelato-making techniques, Sky News reported Wednesday.

"The people who come here are people who want a career change," Ito said. "The average age is 35-40. They are ready to drop what they're doing and open a new chapter in their lives."

The school is at the headquarters of Carpigiani, the world's largest manufacturer of ice cream-making machines.
