Aspiring Pastry Chef

My name is Melissa and I am an aspiring pastry chef. At this time, I am finishing my associate's degree from the Le Cordon Bleu, Portland, OR in Patisserie and Baking. I will start my bachelor's in July if all plans go accordingly.

I have only 3 classes left to finish and then I begin my externship in April after spring break. I am still trying to decide where I will focus my career. I have a book concept that I have found to be unique based on breads. I love to create and decorate cakes too. These are the two areas I have found I have enjoyed the most, thus far.

I am considering working in a hotel or chain of some sort to get rotated through all of the jobs offered as a pastry chef. I have lots of techniques and areas to improve, and am anxious to get more proficient. I will post some of my work on here over time and go from there.
