Pastry School Creations

Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Daniel Lancaster, I'm from Osoyoos, British Columbia, Canada. I'm currently in pastry school at The Culinary Institute of Canada, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. I decided I wanted to be a pastry chef / baker a few years back, when I was baking in a grocery store bakery, and really enjoyed it, even though it wasn't scratch baking. I thought I would come to Charlottetown, because of the culture, the success of students that graduated from this school, and because Charlottetown, might just be the cuisine capital of Canada! In my future, I hope to open my own bakery/cafe, as baking is my real passion, as well as come up with my own version of desserts, and quite possibly publish my own cookbook!
