BY REBECCA BOLAN
What IS a pastry chef?
A pastry chef is a chef who specializes in making pastries, such as cupcakes, cake, pie, scones, and more!
As a head pastry chef, you must keep all of the other chefs on task. Also, if you own the business you work at, you have to manage payments.

Pastry chefs usually work with other pastry chefs, and assistant chefs.

Usually, chefs communicate over baking websites, and comment and share what they do.
A day in the life of a pastry chef
Get up at 6:00 am, go to the shop. Work on the new recipes, then open the shop. Develop new recipes, and complete costumer requests. Go out to get ingredients. Cook some more. Go home at 6:00pm.
