About the pastry chef
Jessica Alarcon Ortiz
Hola! I am a Mexican American woman and I have been a professional Pastry Chef over 11 years, passionate about my culture, trying to create a respectful tribute on the pastries and baked goods I grew up with.
While completing a culinary career, I discovered baking was my true passion. Which pushed me to pursuit a new baking education after completing my culinary career. Through the years I have developed a deep passion for constant learning and trying to understand what’s behind a beautiful pastry creation: The importance of quality ingredients, experience and understanding on techniques, ingredients chemical behavior understanding, the effects of temperature control on the products and ingredients which all added together may result in incredible and neat pastry creation. I love simplicity and the way this can show all the achievements or failures in baking. I also believe that food is a way to show love, care and also an incredible and friendly way to learn from a different culture which sometimes can be an intimidating experience for all of us, creating bridges to understand, respect and even learn to appreciate someone’s culture different from ours, which for me is a powerful experience if we allow it.
I would love to share my culture with you! Share it through new flavors, different baking techniques that I admire and had to learn from skilled Mexican bakers and creating my personal vision of this through CEMPASÚCHIL MEXICAN BAKERY. We proudly provide a contemporary twist concept of Mexican great baking and pastries trying to offer through simplicity, quality and beauty a different version of the Mexican pastries and bakery many of us know, but a few of us appreciate. Providing a new and unique experience for any possible customer.
Hope you allow us to invite you to try this new experience!
