Before joining us at Priory Fine Pastries, Jim worked at the Grand Concourse, Station Square, for five years as Executive Pastry Chef and Monterey Bay Fish Grotto, Mt. Washington, for seven years as Executive Pastry Chef, where he also helped open the entire restaurant in 1997.

Jim began his love of baking by helping his mom bake bread and pies for their large family of nine children and his sister Nancy with cookies and cakes.

Don’t let her Birthday go uncelebrated. Have a piece of birthday cake, and do a good deed to celebrate her life.

Everyone has an argument, a fight, or a tiff once in a while.

Today is National Kiss and Make Up Day, and nothing says “truce,” quite like a cake from Priory Fine Pastries.

So go ahead and put an end to that disagreement, kiss and make up, then celebrate over a good cake!

Some might suggest that the kissing and the making up part makes fighting worthwhile.
