Sugar blowing, gingerbread architecture, reindeer sleigh engineering, and a trompe l’oeil Bouche Noel - White House Chef Roland Mesnier and the pastry team work their culinary magic for the holidays.  December 4, 1990, George Bush administration. 

Chef Mesnier served as a White House chef for 26 years to 5 presidents.  He has written 4 books, including All the President’s Pastries.

Whew. And we thought our holiday parties were a lot of work.
