    my job is is really to just make great
  • 00:00:03
    desserts for the family and their guests
  • 00:00:06
    this is my little Ivory Tower here uh it
  • 00:00:08
    used to be a were washing area and then
  • 00:00:10
    it was rebuilt to be the pastry kitchen
  • 00:00:12
    this is an example of um kind of some of
  • 00:00:15
    the decorations that we would normally
  • 00:00:18
    work on those are all made out of
  • 00:00:20
    chocolate or marzipan we try to use
  • 00:00:24
    edible elements in the decoration in
  • 00:00:26
    pastries but we kind of know the
  • 00:00:28
    president after 9 months we kind of know
  • 00:00:29
    the president and first ladies and first
  • 00:00:32
    daughters preferences the president

    cream pie he does concentrate it seems
  • 00:00:41
    on the crust and enjoying the crust this
  • 00:00:44
    is the real secret we pre-bake the
  • 00:00:46
    bottom crust so that actually the crust
  • 00:00:49
    is brown that way when you goes into it
  • 00:00:53
    it's crumbly and and uh breaks apart
  • 00:00:55
    easily we've kind of come used get used
  • 00:00:58
    to a pie where the bottom is basically
  • 00:01:01
    but it doesn't have to be that way hello
  • 00:01:03
    and the great thing about working here
  • 00:01:04
    is that there's such uh coordination the
  • 00:01:07
    florist Department the decorations the
  • 00:01:09
    tablecloth so we have Carpenters we have
  • 00:01:11

    especially at this time of year where
  • 00:01:14
    we're starting to get into the holiday
  • 00:01:16
    season and it's kind of plotted out
  • 00:01:18
    what's going to be done color scheme and
  • 00:01:20
    timing and what the food is going to be
  • 00:01:23
    how it's going to look and how it's
  • 00:01:24
    going to be decorated even as a pastry
  • 00:01:26
    chef gives us an idea of for example how
  • 00:01:28
    to decorate the ginger bread
  • 00:01:30
    house it was I think in the first 3 days
  • 00:01:33
    that Mrs Obama invited all of us uh in
  • 00:01:36
    the kitchen to come sit down and she
  • 00:01:39
    began talking to us about healthful and
  • 00:01:42
    nutritious
  • 00:01:44
    eating and they did uh reassure me that
  • 00:01:47
    they love desserts but they don't want
  • 00:01:49
    it there for themselves or their
  • 00:01:51
