You might create elaborate decorations for cakes and desserts or prepare sweet fillings for a range of items.

Assistant Pastry Chefs should have a passion for fine desserts and have excellent attention to detail. It’s important that you can follow instructions and work as part of a team. Assistant Pastry Chefs must be able to prioritise their tasks and manage their time well. Depending on your workplace, you may have to work irregular hours including weekends and holidays.
