Taste Panel For Job Interview

If you are going to apply for a position as pastry chef or even an assistant pastry chef position you better have a plan for your taste panel! When I do a taste panel; I envision that I am going to create desserts for very special guests. You will probably be asked to create a show piece, an amenity, a plated dessert and a whole cake. You have to be concious of time and the fact that not all ovens work the same. Bring all your own tools as possible. Allow time to talk briefly with the staff. Just do what you do best!
