I lived in San Francisco for several years and had an opportunity to take classes with some of the most notable pastry chefs of our time.  Since I returned to Pittsburgh, PA, I had little time to practice, and just recently retired and moved to Riverview, Florida.  I am anxious to jump in and utilize my training in Fine Arts, having graduated in Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon University.  18 years as a high school art teacher, and who would believe I ended up in retail.
