How did you start your career as a pastry chef?
I was around baking my whole life! My mom had an second kitchen in our house which she had a licensed in home bakery. I grew up watching her making many cakes and eventually was put on different tasks like greasing her pans and making the many batches of frosting. Eventually she saw I had some talent and soon had me helping in the baking and decorating. My Grandma also was a baker so every time we went to her house there would be a table full of sweet treats which we all looked forward to and were in awe of.
I knew I wanted to purse baking to be able to keep giving that joy I saw my mom and grandma giving to others through their goodies. So, after high school I went to Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts for baking and patisserie. I had the honor of doing my internship at Bluefin Bay Resort, then after I graduated I worked at a small bakery my family opened, a bread bakery, and then moved to the Twin Cities. Here I worked as an assistant pastry chef at Solera Restaurant. From there I worked for a great company, Rocket Restaurant Group where I served and bartended for many years and even had the opportunity to make desserts for big parties held there, like Tyus Jones draft party! When they started remodeling a new restaurant I became their first hired pastry chef at their restaurant The Loop West End. I stayed there for 8 years baking all their desserts and brunch goods, eventually adding in the job as sous chef, and even head chef!
I left that job to make the big move up to Brainerd to work here at Madden’s!
What excited you most about moving to Brainerd/working at Madden’s?
Challenging myself to create a fun and delicious bakery program at Madden’s really excited me. I love having fun with baking and giving people something, they have never had or something that when they eat, it brings them back to a moment and can associate that bite with a great memory. My family loves being outside, so we are really looking forward to having so many adventures ahead of us.
Favorite dessert to make and/or eat?
I’m a sucker for donuts, I love to eat them and to decorate them. My kids love donuts too, so I enjoy basing a lot of my flavor ideas off them. When it comes to what I like to make the best, I love making cheesecakes! There are limitless flavor combinations and I love pushing the limits of what people expect a cheesecake to be vs what I make.
