Who we are

BEN FINE: Ben always knew he wanted to own a business, before he discovered his love for baking. Ben attended University of Pittsburgh and attained a degree in Communications before attending Pennsylvania Culinary Institute’s Le Cordon Bleu Patisserie program, where he obtained an associates degree in Pastry and Baking.

Ben then accepted a position at Square Cafe as the Front of House Manager, eventually being promoted to Assistant General Manager. 

BRITTANY RALL: Brittany has always had an uncanny ability to develop and perfect the art of baking. She has a tremendous awareness of what works in recipe development and can seamlessly apply that to her use of ingredients. Brittany attended Pennsylvania Culinary Institute’s Le Cordon Bleu Patisserie and Baking program, earning her associates degree. From there, she externed at the prestigious Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado learning the ropes of a busy, high end resort kitchen. Following her time there, she was hired as the Pastry Chef of Eleven Contemporary Kitchen, developing creative menus and managing a busy, high-end pastry kitchen. She then moved on to Square Cafe, where she currently is the bar manager, training staff and developing customized drink menus.

With that in mind, he attended Pennsylvania Culinary Institute’s Le Cordon Bleu Patisserie and Baking program, where he earned his associates degree. From there, Will went on to work at Vanilla Pastry Studio, eventually becoming the lead cake decorator, leading up the designs and fabrications of high-end custom cakes for some of Pittsburgh’s most high end clients. He then went on to work at lead cake decorator at Bella Christie and Lil Z’s Sweet Boutique, continuing his path as a creative cake designer.
