The invention relates to a method for the industrial manufacture of pastry or similar food products where each item or a group of items is manufactured stepwise at a plurality of workstations (13-19) placed along a conveying means (3) such as a moving belt as well as to an apparatus (1) for carrying out the inventive method. The apparatus according to the invention differs from the prior art by CNC-controlled nozzle movements allowing for greater flexibility when controlling nozzle movements along the X, Y and Z axis. The change-over from one form or pattern to another is so fast that without loosing valuable operation time the form of a piece of pastry or a decoration pattern may be altered every few pieces. Instead of e.g. manufacturing one type of biscuits in large quantities, changing over to the next type etc., sorting the different types and packing a few of each type in a box, one layer of different biscuits may be made at a time. This saves overall production time since packing the goods is considerably simpler. All the important controllable parameters of a workstation can be controlled to give a complete overview over all the workstations along the conveyor belt. It is possible to make use of the capacity of the apparatus rather than a single part or workstation limiting manufacture. A customer buying pastry from the apparatus has a greater selection and shorter delivery times.
