About Me:
Hi everybody.

I teach at ICE in NYC except for about 3 weeks a year when I help produce the Carymax World Pastry Forum, National or World Pastry Championship, and Bread and Pastry Championship events.

My Carymax partner, Tina Korting, organize the volunteers for the events. We also work with the guest hotel, the Forum chef instructors, and Carymax to make arrangements for the food and equipment they need for the Forum classes.

I also help emcee with Keegan Gerhard during the competition; so yes, I'm the one directing the TV cameras, explaining what you're seeing the teams do on the big screens, answering questions from the audience, keeping track of the time, and reading the team's food descriptions as they go out to the judges, and even the sponsor information.

When I'm not working at ICE, or helping Carymax, I help design and lead pastry and baking tours in France. There's a very cool inn converted from a wheat mill in the Loire Valley, called le Moulin Bregeon. It's beautiful, the organic garden food and wines are fantastic. We work hands-on with a variety of Le Notre trained pastry chefs, Michelin culinary chefs, and artisan bread bakers and chocolatiers to customize programs (in English) for your interests and skill levels.

Hi from Kathryn, the Forum and Championship Volunteer Coordinator

Have you been thinking about volunteering in Phoenix this year?

My Carymax partner, Tina Korting, and I will be organizing this year's volunteer assignments soon. Basically, the sooner you can sign up -- and the longer you're available -- the "better" the assignment.

But the success of these events is completely dependent on volunteers... Someone has to help unpack the semi-trucks that arrive with the equipment to set up the Forum and competition kitchens. Someone has to help wash the dishes f… Continue

Hi Kathryn: I don't have your email address, but I'm wondering if you can call me tomorrow morning. I have a small job I need help with and I'm wondering if you might be interested or might know of someone who can do it. Time is of the essence, though. Thanks: 718-802-9007

Hey Kathryn,

My name is Ross Warhol and I am currently a student at the CIA Greystone Campus. I have heard many things about the forum from Chef Stephen Durfee who will be teaching a class there. I have worked with him for several months and he has been encouraging me to take part in the forum. He had told me about volunteering for the week to get the whole experience...so i guess that leads me to you. Hopefully there are more positions available to volunteer. I am available whenever you need me. Thanks for your time and i hope to hear from you soon.

-Ross Warhol-
