Tasks and functions
The pastry chef is a member of the classic de cuisine brigade in a professional kitchen and pastry station station chef.
Daily operations can also require cookie chefs to research recipe concepts and develop and test new recipes. Usually the pastry chef does all the necessary preparations from various desserts in advance, before dinner begins. The actual dessert coating is often done by other station chefs, usually garde manger, at the time of order. Pastry chefs often handle desserts, which in addition to traditional desserts, may include dessert wines, special desserts, and gourmet cheese dishes. Pastry chefs are also expected to fully understand their ingredients and the chemical reactions that occur when making delicate pastries. Proper timing and temperature are important.
In larger kitchens, pastry chefs may have a number of other chefs working at their stations, each responsible for a certain type of cake:
- boulanger (bakers): responsible for bread, cakes and breakfast cookies
- confiseur (confectioner): responsible for candy and petit fours
- dÃÆ' à © corateur (decorator): responsible for custom cakes and event snippets
