Hey, Im trying to start a catering company that will later turn into a bakery. I have had this passion my whole life and Im finally ready to take the dive and enroll for pastry chef. Any advice you can give will be helpful.

my advice, first of all follow your heart. Secondly, I would take a food training or culinary arts program first, to generalize yourself with the industry, then from there dive into a specialized pastry chef program.
I am just thinking that a little more insight into the industry will help you in the long run.
all the best,

You have the passion and drive, great. But you also want to run a business. That means you are the tightrope AND the safety net, so you also have to think a bit about the business aspect of things.

No matter how good your food is no one will buy it if they don't know about it.

This is a very profound statement, focus on it. How will you make customers know about your food and service?
