Life as a pastry student alumna

After 8 intensive months of daily pastry making, learning, and doing the time has finally come to say goodbye to the comfortable safety of school life and hello into the wide open world of pastry. So many memories were built, and so many days were had of pure joy. I couldn’t ask for a better experience for my introductory journey as a French pastry student.

My standards are now set so high but I’m happy for that because there are simply so many different pastry shops in this country and in this world. I expect to hold myself to the same standard I was taught and now I not only get to enjoy sweet treats but properly dissect them into their individual layers to suss out what makes them ‘work’ as a dessert.

The journey was long - so please enjoy some select pictures of me living my best life.
