"My experience in Paris made me a better person and very well equipped me to start my own business. For Penny's Pastries, I take recipes I learned at Le Cordon Bleu and transform them into delectables that people with food allergies or health issues can enjoy as well. Le Cordon Bleu helped me to be creative and focus on my passion, baking, which I am now grateful to say I can share with others"
