Pavé Consulting

We live in So Cal and just got married in San Francisco. Gina handled our wedding cake and all of the deserts. It was a pleasure to work with her, to know that everything was taken care of, as a out of town bride I had one less thing to worry about. The best part was that our guests were pulling us aside to rave over how delicious all the confections were. Gina is a top notch pastry chef! We are so pleased that she was part of our special day.

Gina Conedera of Pavè Consulting was recommended to us by our wedding caterer and created a very beautiful and delicious cake for our June 1^st wedding.
We had a general idea for what we wanted, putting great importance on taste and flavor. Gina gave us lots of ideas and really got a feel for what we liked and our style.
The finished product was amazing to say the least. We chose a vanilla cake with vanilla honey buttercream and pistachio cremè filling. Months later, family and friends are still raving about the cake. This was the best wedding cake we have ever tasted, hands down.
We were not able to save any because it went so fast, but I look forward to having a recreation for our first anniversary!
Thanks Gina for creating such a memorable part of our wedding for us and our guests!

Gina provided desserts for us for our rehearsal dinner, and her pastry skills are outstanding — we had a variety of desserts for the rehearsal, some of which called for some unique ingredients (half the wedding was Indian, so we wanted some desserts to highlight mango, spices etc). She nailed it — 3 different flavors of french macaroons (unreal, and nicely varied in flavor) and her «Mangomisu», which was a play on tiramisu that was the star of the dinner. Not only that, but working with her was pretty breezy in terms of coordinating the onsite setup and logistics. She really just took care of all of it, including contacting the restaurant and working directly with them. Couldn’t have been happier having her be apart of our big day, and we hope to be eating her desserts again soon! Thank you, Gina!

I attended a dessert making demonstration party and had a great time!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Gina but she was awesome! Gina demonstrated how to make 4 desserts and all of them were amazing. She made it so easy for me to understand what she was doing and gave great baking tips along the way! She would be perfect for any type of group get together whether it’s for a shower or even a company get together! I would definitely book her for a future event!

Gina did a pastry demonstration for a group of friends and it was so much fun! I came in with the intention to just sample the pastries since I am lost in the kitchen. I thought many of the terms, ingredients, and tools would be over my head. Gina presented everything in a step by step manner that made me feel comfortable and excited about trying out her yummy recipes. She shared the hints she has learned in the business over the years and taught us how to make the yummiest desserts from pies to truffles. I am going to keep her mind next time I’m planning a bridal shower or a girls night in!
