'Cake Boss' does massive, massive things, which are great.
I've never been much of a cake-maker.
I have a showroom where we experiment with twelve cakes. We develop sketches and ideas for cakes for the next season. We work with the top fashion designers to see what type of lace they are using or work with the top florist for us to be able to make various sugar roses or flowers.
No great pastry chef has sweet teeth.
Every chef should have an understanding of pastries or desserts.
I've had many baking disasters but whatever it is, I'll cover it with icing and sprinkles and say a child has made it.
For months I've been working on creating techniques to reproduce Swarovski crystals in sugar using the real stones to guide me.
Crystalline swirls of sugar and flour still lingered in the air like kite tails.
Desserts are my life - making them, eating them, and teaching others how to prepare them perfectly.
