Hi, I'm a new member here!

I recently finished my culinary school and am now working at a hotel in Las Vegas as a helper in the kitchen for Pastry Shop.

Pastry is my passion!

I'm also interested in entering in some competitions just to see what it would be like. And if I like it, maybe even continue to compete. Problem is that I can't find any sources that tells me where and when the competitions are. Can anyone help me with this? The competitions don't have to be in vegas but near vegas would be a plus. or if anyone could just guide me to a direction where I could find more info. would be great. Thanks!
