The pastry chef, also known as a patissier, is a chef specialized in crafting sweet and salty baked goods. They are the ones getting up in the morning to create warm and fluffy croissants and the ones who stay up late to decorate the wedding cake for the next day event. The position is rather complex and so are the requirements listed in the pastry chef job description, regardless if the available position is in a restaurant, a bistro or a boulangerie.
