Pastry Live

Please come out to Atlanta and support York Chef Joseph Cumm.  Chef Joseph will be competing in The Art of Cake at Pastry Live on Sunday-August 25th.


Chef Joseph Cumm is currently a Pastry Arts Instructor at the Pennsylvania School of Culinary Arts. Along with his wife, he also owns EdenJoes Cakery. He is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Johnson and Wales University where he was trained as a classical pastry chef. In 2010, he was nominated for Teacher of the Year for Two-Year colleges in the state of Virginia. He has been decorating cakes for 12 years and continues to push himself in the art of sugar. Chef Joe takes great pride in teaching all aspects of pastry and enjoys watching his students push themselves to levels they never knew existed. He competes regularly in national cake shows where he also teaches what he has learned from schooling, fellow colleagues, and life.


A cake competition that emphasizes the artistry of cake, the Art of Cake calls for competitors to transform cake into creations inspired by great artists and art time periods of the past, the 2013 theme being Art Nouveau. Flavor is equally as important, as competitors must also present a tasting cake for the judging panel’s approval.
