If this is your first job as a pastry chef, talk about your experience in the field. This could be hands on experience from culinary school or baking you have done for friends and family. By sharing some of your experiences, you will demonstrate your competency as a pastry chef. Give examples of what you have learned! The interviewer wants to get to know you and what you like about baking. All you have to prove is that you have what it takes to be an expert pastry chef, even if you don't know everything just yet!

"I just recently graduated from culinary school, but I loved learning about the science behind baking and how ingredients like butter hold the flavor in the recipe. While I was in school, I worked part time at a bakery and was responsible for helping to prep and bake all of our regular, everyday items we sold in the case. I absolutely loved learning the ins and outs of operating a successful bakery, from ordering supplies, to baking, to helping clients through custom orders. I am excited to continue to learn."
