Hi W,
sounds like your chef may have a family member interested in pastry and you may not notice until after you leave who it is.

And remember you have a talent in an art that most cusine chefs cannot do,so ignore the jealousy, keep your head down and continue to kick *** .

Good Luck,
Chef Skip
Ps Use your local cutomers,talk,listen,share your pastry dreams and you may find an investor who will help you get your own shop.
