Do you believe that working with pastries and desserts is more of an art or a science, or perhaps a combination of the two? Which do you prefer, the science or the creativity?

Art AND Science

i really feel it's art, chemestry and physics. They all play an equally important roll in making pastry. and then there's the social aspect of cooking whether it's cooking for others or with others...that unexplainable magic that happens at the table...so I guess I think it's part magic too.

So true about magic. I wonder if you also believe that you need to put a little "love" into your baking too, or it just won't turn out as good.

Art or Science, or magic

I'm not sure about the love but luck helps!
