    i think this is one of the only "Day in my life" that actually guides you through your WORK day rather than just labelled as "wake up", "morning exercise routine", "meeting", "lunch". So nice!

      Your thought is completely alright. I meant, I have worked at many restaurant cafes and most of them do not have a pastry chef. Normally many places just order something from a local bakery, from croissant to sweet slides, or they just make one or two simple things like muffins. Restaurants that have a pastry chef are normally larger ones so they have space for equipment to make them in-house, hence they are normally reputable fine-dining ones.

    • @jessicawang3387
      @jessicawang3387 3 ปีที่แล้ว +50

      as a pastry chef myself, I will say that not all restaurants will have a pastry chef/team. Many restaurants are not willing to invest in a pastry chef, because that's another salary that they have to pay for someone. So you aren't necessarily wrong, sometimes they have a savory chef create the menu for the desserts, but in that case, it's rarely technical and not very good.

      ​@@amaside3166 Connections, Connections, and Connections. You can definitely get your CCC and CMC without school but starting out a career in the industry with minimal culinary experience is a slow grind. School gives you the basics techniques and concepts but it's also their to explain why and how things work. Study hard and learn as much as you can, show eagerness to learn and your Chefs will see and you will be awarded. Building your connections through school with other aspiring Chefs, and Chefs that have been in the industry 20+ years will open so many doors you wont know which one to choose( if you played your cards right and put in the effort and dedication). And plus CCC(Certified Chef de Cuisine) and CMC (Certified Master Chef) isn't something you should even worry about in your first 10 years in the industry with or without school.

      You say that she has effortless productivity but she actually HAS to do it because in the kitchens there is a lot of shouting and pressure. They must prepare like 5 or 6 desserts in a certain amount of time or else- 😂

    Just a quick tip on washing hands, after you’ve washed your hands don’t turn the tap off straight away, dry your hands with the paper towel first then use the paper towels to turn the tap off, this way you won’t get germs from the tap from when you first turned it on :)

      it really depends on the type of place they are working too. This is a restaurant that seems to serve a la carte pastries for service. But, there are various types of jobs where there is only production to do most of the day, minus opening a pastry shop early in the morning, etc. A lot of times the pastry chefs spend a lot of time doing paperwork, organization, menus, recipes, etc, and a sous or pastry cooks will be doing the bulk of production. =)

    This is very helpful! Especially your website! I’m a pastry arts student. I’d be willing to work like what you are doing but I’m more inspired to have my own pastry shop in my own hometown and be a boss lady lol but I’m a new subscriber. Loving your videos already! Hope we get to watch you bake more and inspire others too! Thanks Mia! Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 💕💕

    being a pastry student has been the best decision ive ever made. the almond flour almost missing the container gave me a heart attack.

    Do you memorize the measurements of every single dish or do you carry a small notebook or something? genuinely curious!

      I cannot speak for her but I work in the food industry as well and you end up memorizing it through repetition. You can speed up the process by making flash cards and studying in your free time (that’s what I did), but ultimately, you’ll find yourself comfortable following a recipe without using the recipe book after your 1st or 2nd time making something from scratch. For the restaurant I work at- one of the many things I do is make our bread from scratch, and after the 1st time doing it (and a night of studying the recipe), I was comfortable enough to make it off the top of my head. In the end- it all depends on how fast you want to learn and grow:)!!!

      I carry a small notebook! We change the menu every couple of weeks and we make so many things it would be impossible to memorize everything. I have a few of my most used recipes memorized, like buttercream and chocolate mousse!

      @@MiaBakes I too have a small note book most of the recipe I have memorized . But the one I don't make a lot I have my notes to refer back too. I have been doing this for around 32 yrs so most I know and notes to refresh my memory lol

    Thanks Mia. I love the behind the scene of a pastry chef. I pick up some of the tips. I always thought that pastry chef can remember all the recipe. Haha guess not. I aim to work in a real kitchen soon. I guess I will just continue to home bake at home to perfect my bakes.
