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.

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 KZfaq, so thank you. That's also a deliciously sounding Panna Cotta.

Ive seen countless videos on KZfaq. 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

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

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 :)

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!

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

the way you wrote Saturday was just AMAZING

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

Being a pastry chef is not easy. Thank you for sharing your life of being a pastry chef in San Francisco!

This is so fascinating! Thanks for making these! 😊

We need more of this, love..... i love you!

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.

I had so much fun, thanks for the good video.

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 👍

Dang the floor cleaners really gotta make your life harder lmao

Hello chef how are you im still watching here in philippines. Happy new year.

Top chef ❤

May I ask, why don’t you put plastic wrap in the molds? It makes it much easier to get it out when it’s frozen. And i really like your job😊 And sorry for my English, I don’t know the exact words for it.

where is this in sf? want to check it out

Great job thank you

lol @ scary service elevator. I had one in my last job and it got stuck... thank god it was right when we were cleaning up after dinner service so the head chef and my coworkers were all there and we used a metal bar to open the elevator door. Then everyone joked that i could've just slept in there all night cos i was back to work the next day anyway. lol

my career is being a pastry chef its wonderful~💗

Which restaurant is this! :)

How much do you make?

What were you using to film this video?

9:35 😂😂😂 *No Tocar*

my parents forced me to become a chef, so right now i am taking culinary art as my majors in university but i dont know anything about cooking, what should i do first in cooking? or can anyone give me some advise? i am really confused

Which restaurant do you work at? I'm currently a pastry student and I'm trying to figure out where to do my internship next spring
