    Pastry School

    In 2018, I attended pastry school at The International Culinary Center in New York City for nine months, and I chronicled the entire journey!

    I learned how to make everything from puff pastry to petits fours to wedding cakes, and I shared all my creations in these recap posts, as well as my thoughts on pastry school as a whole.
