UPCOMING CHATS

Four times a year, PastryScoop.com invites three experts to answer your toughest pastry and bread baking questions.

Interact with them in a live chat to get the skinny on exciting new dessert trends, the best products and suppliers on the market, and special tips that will make your desserts truly shine.

PREVIOUS CHATS

Whether bonbons, pies, or cakes are your passion, you can find answers to your baking and dessert questions in our chat archives.

What kind of chocolate does organic chocolatier Richard Muszynski prefer? How does baker P. J. Hamel keep blueberries from sinking to the bottom of her cakes? What is Ron Ben-Israel's favorite brand of fondant? Check out the Q & A's from our previous chats for answers to all this and more.
