About
While the job details vary by the type of place they work, pastry chefs are artists in sugar, butter and flour. They create desserts and pastries that entice the palate and the eye. Pastry chefs work in a wide range of commercial kitchens, from the local grocery store bakery to high-end restaurants. Some work with caterers, or at large resorts and conference centers, while others will own their storefronts, working for themselves.
