| Introduction | Peggy’s interest in baking grew from a little girl’s fascination at Uncle Abe’s bakery in Chelsea, Mass. to professional studies at the C.I.A. She has created cakes for the Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Marlon Brando, a fifty-foot long replica of the Boulder Mall, and sugar and chocolate pieces for the International Summit of the Eight and the AIFW Pageant of Chefs in Los Angeles. Awards are numerous, starting with the Best of Show gingerbread work, and include ACF Gold, and Bronze medals, and finalist awards at the Patis France and National Dessert competitions. Television appearances include Food Network “Easter Unwrapped”. Her love of the fine art of pastry brought her to participate in the World Pastry Forum, National Pastry Championships, Cuisines of the Sun, and Aspen Food and Wine Festival. She volunteers extensively to bring the pastry arts to people throughout the U.S. Her own businesses include A la Carte in Boulder and Confection Art, selling decorating products including her book, ‘Modeling Chocolate Made Easy’. Pastry Pieces is her next step to make sugar and chocolate creations and professional pastry secrets available to everyone. |
