: would like to here from other pastry people out there.

OK, what would you like to hear? (g),
I run a small french bakery in Boston, I worked for many years in hotels (Ritz, Meridien) bakeries and restaurants and have been in business for 14 years now, baking for a lot longer than that.

Too many coming into the business now are taking courses and not doing the apprenticeships. Kinda sad, I have never had anyone approach me to serve an apprenticeship, its too easy to take classes.

I used to hang out on CIS in the cooking forums but found it too unprofessional with a very ameteurish pecking order.

Whats a CPC ?
