This is not Ace of Cakes. This documentary deals with the art of the French pastry chef, which, compared to the basic idea of dessert in America, is a matter of quality over quantity. To put this in perspective, the French Ministry of Labor even hosts an annual competition to select the country's patisserie master. Jacquy Pfeiffer hopes to be the next.
