Pâtisserista
Pâtisserista (pa-TEES-sa-REE-sta)
Noun. The vaguely hipster, but usually cheerful, woman in her twenties who assists urban foodies with the selection of their éclairs, tarts, tortes, and cupcakes at upscale bakeries. Often an art student, she is equal parts Amelie and Riot Grrrl, with a generous pinch of Julia Child that reveals itself when she gushes about salted caramel, mille-feuille, or raspberry confit.
