DAY IN MY LIFE AS A PASTRY CHEF IN SAN FRANCISCO

[@Ace-cv1xd]

being a pastry chef is in a professional kitchen is a title to behold on its own. they normally either the most respected chef, if not second most, in the kitchen. always in their own world in their dessert/pastry corner. nobody disturbs them, they wouldnt dare. not only are they extremely proficient at what they do, they often know what's going on in the kitchen as well. they are are also the backbone to a strong start of a crazy service. (desserts usually come at the end so they help whoever that needs help at the start of service; normally the canape/starter/amuse bouche/ station). mad respect to you young lady. its very very rare to come across someone as young as you with the title of a pastry sous, at least where i come from.

As a pastry chef myself, I can appreciate and understand what you go through. I though would never have the confidence to film and post my daily activities, so kudos to you for doing this and thank you.

How does one become a pastry chef ? @KMackay

[@electronicsgirl1]

Hi Mia, I'm a pastry cook and it's really satisfying to see someone in pastry withing there regular day. It's not a common thing to see on KZbin, so thank you. That's also a deliciously sounding Panna Cotta.

[@vanessagoes3168]

Hey Cassandra* could you tell me how did u become a pastry cook like wt course you took n all please

Ive seen countless videos on KZbin. This was a rare time, I've actually set through the whole video, learned things, and have a new found appreciation for pastry chefs. Cheers

[@MiaBakes]

This is so nice! Thank you so much!

[@nathangirard3464]

Never considered this job in my life but it actually looks kind of fun, I found the very minor errors that occurred to be incredibly relatable and I enjoyed the video a lot. Thank you so much :)

[@MiaBakes]

Thanks for your comment! I love my job so much :)

[@mhais21]

I only saw your video now because YT recommended it but I can totally relate with your pastry life since we share the same profession. Lol. I arrive at work at 6:00am. Get some not so good coffee and a sad looking bread, haha. Then pre-heat ovens, clean mixers and clean and sanitize stations. Arrange recipes and organizing my action plans for the day -- doing it for almost 13 years until now... Some think being in pastry is fun, it is not. It is a grind everyday and it is hard work. But the satisfaction it gives me is totally worth it. Thank you for doing vlog of our profession in its truest form. Take care!

[@mehrubareza]

the way you wrote Saturday was just AMAZING

[@Clipsmedia4]

my life for 8 years!! I miss it so much. So awesome you're doing these vidoes

[@NatalineJ]

Wow. I really enjoyed this video! Could you make a video talking about your class experience and criteria required.

[@jrice4483]

As a former Executive Pastry chef....I can say that in every restaurant people steal from the dessert cabinet 😭🤦🏽‍♂️ so our counts would always be off the next day

[@elizabethjayjay1043]

I'm in a technical highschool and my trade is culinary arts. I'm just a freshmen and know like 2% of everything but I'm literally in love. I've worked in both the kitchen and bakery and working my way as a cashier and server. I came for mechanical engineering and design but went through phases and culinary called out to me. My chefs were so surprised I came back and were very loving.

[@yuKraVezZara]

Hi u inspire me so much I'm so gonna go to culinary school I've been cooking and baking since 4 I would help my mom I'm 11 and I think I'll do good at it

[@chishingwong5358]

How did you become a pastry chef?? 😩 I'm thinking of going that route

[@turg9115]

[@juliepepe256]

Hi, I’m currently a chef. You can either go to college for it or not it does not require schooling

[@juliepepe256]

You will need a servsafe certificate which is just a test online. Some states don’t require it though

[@pavanwadkar4438]

@@juliepepe256 Hey there 👋🙏 Could you please tell me more about Pastry arts ? Because currently I've been pursuing Bachelor's of Hotel management in India

[@juliepepe256]

Pavan Wadkar It’s similar to being a regular chef. If you plan on doing it professionally or at a high end restaurant I highly recommend taking the servsafe course online. Servsafe is just like a 6-8 hour class where you learn kitchen safety, cross contamination, sanitation and more. Once you take the class you will get a test and if you pass that test you get a certification that lasts up to 2 years!!! It pretty much shows that you know you can be trusted in the kitchen.

[@deathegg9474]

I’m not a pasty chef but I worked prep, pantry and line cook for like 4 years and the kind of the struggle and frustration you go through looks like the kind of stuff I would totally do and always find myself in those situation lol I did a lot of foolish things/not thinking that all the way through. I also totally relate to making a mess especially when the GM boss isn’t around or there that day 😂 grate video and definitely helps me considering on becoming a pastry chef 👍

[@senpai1350]

You are totally great. As a pastry chef work hard and enjoy making cakes.. From phillppines.
