Usually the pastry chef does all the necessary preparation of the various desserts in advance, before dinner seating begins.

The actual plating of the desserts is often done by another station chef, usually the garde manger, at the time of order.

The pastry chef is often in charge of the dessert menu, which besides traditional desserts, may include dessert wines, specialty dessert beverages, and gourmet cheese platters.

Pastry chefs are also expected to fully understand their ingredients and the chemical reactions that occur when making fine pastries.

Precise timing and temperatures are critically important.

It is generally preferred to weigh the ingredients as opposed to measuring by cup, as weighing offers far more consistent baking results.
