The Pastry Arts Council is a distinguished network of some of the most influential American pastry chefs whose expertise and vision shape the future of our craft.

We are deeply grateful for their dedication to preserving our legacy while championing innovation, collaboration, and excellence.

Their insight keeps Team USA connected to the evolving trends, challenges, and opportunities within the pastry world, ensuring we remain relevant, inspired, and prepared to represent our country at the highest level.

Together, we work to elevate the art of pastry in the United States and strengthen the global reputation of American pastry.

As a united community, we are committed to building a strong national network, identifying and mentoring the country’s most promising talent, and fostering creativity, innovation, pride, and camaraderie.

We strive to invest in the future through grassroots initiatives, youth development, and sustainable talent-building programs designed to prepare the next generation of pastry professionals.
