The Climb
Pastry work at the professional level runs on timing, discipline, and a clean finish. Tracy DeWitt built that base at American InterContinental University, then put it to work as pastry chef at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In a house known for polish and precision, the job would have demanded steady hands and exact execution, with little room for drift in production or presentation. That same standard carried into Variations Pastry Creations in Tempe, Arizona, where Tracy DeWitt again worked as pastry chef. The move marks a kitchen-to-kitchen progression typical of a working pastry career: each role sharpening control over flavor, output, and consistency under professional pressure. Rather than staying fixed in one setting, she kept adding range through different operations and responsibilities. Consulting asks for a different register of craft: not just making, but translating experience into usable direction. At Cold Stone Creamery in Scottsdale, Arizona, Tracy DeWitt worked as a private consultant, bringing pastry expertise into a new environment and applying it in practical terms. The role points to adaptability, and to the ability to read a problem, shape a response, and make it workable in production. Instruction brings another layer of precision. As lead pastry chef-instructor at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Scottsdale, Arizona, Tracy DeWitt bridged production and teaching, passing along the habits that support professional pastry work. In that setting, the craft is not only in the finished product but in the ability to show others how standards are built and maintained. Teaching becomes part technique, part repetition, part correction. Now at Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, Tracy DeWitt works as Chef Instructor, with her pastry background moving into the classroom. Her own words keep the emphasis on the network around the work: “It’s about networking and meeting people. That’s what it’s about for me.” The line fits a career defined not only by technical training and respected appointments, but by the daily exchange that keeps the trade moving.
