Work History

Pastry Cook 2

Congressional Country Club
05.2024 - 09.2026

At Congressional I was able to strengthen my skills including building and decorating cakes, working with chocolate, and working around inconveniences in the kitchen. Here I got to meet the people I was producing for, letting me understand different taste pallets as well as feedback.

Congressional allowed me to get creative when it came to flavor pairing and testing new recipes.

I baked and trayed up breakfast pastries for banquets.

Here is where I started learning how to build a cake. As well as starting to produce and package bonbons.

We plated hundreds of plates weekly on a belt where I worked with others.

As well as setting up parties for banquets.
