When you go on a baking spree, do you crank out dozens of cookies or prefer to bake pies till your arms are sore from rolling out so many crusts? The only way you could make a mistake on this question is if you simply answer, 'I don't know.' Know your desserts! If it's difficult to decide, think about why you decided to become a pastry chef in the first place. Maybe you found yourself perfecting the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe, experimenting with different types of milk and flour. Or maybe when you get that sugar craving, you rush to the pantry to gather all of the best ingredients for your favorite gooey brownie recipe. Share what you like to bake and why!

"I really enjoy making almond and chocolate croissants, maybe because they're some of my favorites to eat! Pastries are a labor of love, but there is nothing like a delicious, buttery, flaky, flavorful croissant. I always tried my best to have fresh croissants in the case at the bakery so our regulars could count on our consistency. On top of that, I also really enjoy icing cakes and personalizing them for customers for special occasions."
