The first thing that comes to mind when I think of my career as a pastry cook, I think of a perfectionist. Working under all the pastry chefs I have had the privilege to do so, I have come to learn that a strive for perfection is of great importance in the pastry kitchen. Most people I have met call me a perfectionist, something which would normally be looked down on, but to me is a compliment - I don’t settle for mediocrity and strive for excellence. My personal belief is that humans are capable of 99.999% perfection, and we must ensure that we deliver on that, expecting nothing but perfection from ourselves, as when we start to aim for mediocrity, we can easily lose sight of what we want. While I am not perfect myself, and never will be, it is something that I personally strive for.
