Hi! Welcome to my little corner of Etsy-land! Who am I? Well...read on! :D For starters ~ I am an experienced, professionally trained Pastry Chef/Confectioner. Though my focus in culinary school was artisan bread baking (an obsession I pursued all the way to France!)... my repertoire has grown and morphed over the years to include plated desserts, event cakes and now specialty candies, confectionery and chocolate work (when temperatures allow) and even soap (!) - you can find my soap and body care shop at www.Etsy.com/shop/GingerbreadSoapCo. :)
I also possess a degree in Medieval Philosophy (!), utilize books as objet d'art and drink WAY too much coffee. --------------------------- After 15 years at some fabulous restaurants in Manhattan, NYC, as Pastry Sous-Chef for the Ritz-Carlton Hotels and various vacation resorts around the country; I found myself feeling stifled in traditional kitchens and decided to strike out on my own. Giving my French culinary training a twist, the result is my shop here on Etsy.
Having paid my dues (and then some!) in the trenches of NYC pastry kitchens; I hope my treats reflect my experience by being deliciously high quality and *more* than a touch fabulous! I prefer to let my work and customer service speak for itself
My bakery is obsessively clean ~ Additionally, I am a certified Serv-Safe Food handler's class *instructor.* Baking is *not* a hobby for me; this business is real and extremely meaningful, as it is essentially the sum of my experiences and by extension, myself.
I hope you find my shop here to be creative with an artistic flair with an almost-*obsessive* attention to details; all the best pastry chefs are a little crazy when it comes to the details don't 'cha know....it's part of our charm. Have a sweet day! xo Lisa
