Hi! my name is Catie Rizzo. I am a recent graduate of The Culinary Institute of America where i majored in Baking and Pastry Arts. My passion is cakes and decorating, but i love creating other confections as well. I’ve created this blog as a digital portfolio compiling all of my work from before i was trained, through culinary school, and to my current job as a baker at a coffee shop. I hope you enjoy the photos!

So excited! I live in remote Australia and am starting a challenge to train myself using the CIA pastry text and study guide. I’d love any help you can give me!
Hi there!
I’m sorry I never wrote back. But that sounds like a fabulous challenge! I’m so excited for you! I hope you learn lots and have fun doing it. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have; I may not always have an answer (I’m still learning myself) but I’d love to offer help if I can!
I peeked at your blog and it looks like things are going very well so far! You’ve definitely got the macarons down. Most people have issues with them, but you seem to have them conquered!
