What is like to be a bakery chef or pastry chef?

• I want to know what is the job like and do you still like your job and what is the job like on a day to day basic thank you

• Answer:

  I think it'd fast paced if you work in a busy place and you have to pay attention to detail so you can get the recipes right and not burn your pastries or whatever. I think it's fun though because you get to put your own creativity into your work. This is what i got when I googled it: The work environment for most pastry chefs is often in a busy, hot kitchen. Days can be long with most hours spent on your feet. Heavy lifting can cause back strain if you don’t pay careful attention to safe lifting practices as well. While many people don’t immediately consider being a pastry chef as being physically demanding it can indeed be so. Depending upon the area of expertise and the work place, some pastry chefs find that they are required to begin work extremely early in the morning. Pastry chefs working for bakeries or restaurants that serve breakfast will find this aspect comes into play most frequently. While these hours may not appeal to the majority of individuals, some actually find it to their liking, providing more peak hours off.
