The Black Forest Pastry Shop has been a fixture in Greenwich since 1982. For two generations the Black Forest Pastry Shop has offered classic German, New England and seasonal desserts. The daily menu includes Danish pastries, croissants, cookies, cakes as well as a new selection of gluten-free offerings.
Mueller will describe how his pastry shop operates, what the challenges are and how he knows what delicious items customers will want.
Ed Mueller, a classically trained Baeckermeister, and his wife, Louise, founded the Black Forest Pastry Shop. They were former owners of the Rye Ridge Pastry Shop in New York. His son, Herb, was raised in the business and pursued his passions in an intensive apprenticeship at Café Roeder in Bad Dürrheim, Germany. He continued his baking and pastry education at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, before accepting a pastry sous chef position at the then newly developed Foxwoods Casino. He partnered with Dan Puffer in 1995 to assume the leadership of the family business and carry on the next generation of baking traditions.
