Cecilia Dascalu

PASTRY CHEF

Cecilia Dascalu discovered the love of numbers at a young age, when multiplication and division required losing nights for learning and continuous development. She brought that love of numbers to win a diploma in economics, which led to work in a bank. Cecilia found that she lacked something in her banking experience and continued to spend her free time with various courses and activities such as pastry and then, at the Smart Pub Restaurant she discovered the missing element: a large set of colleagues focused on making the experience of their clients a memorable pleasure, and because culinary preparations were not enough for that, she managed to sweeten customers by making her own cake lab.
