The show piece of Van Breukelen, the ‘De Oale Bakkerieje’, consists of a turban cake, a reading basket including recipes for Drenthe dishes, a coffee caterer, coffee beans and kitchen utensils. The pastry chef wants to give a glimpse of the grandmothers bakery where it was always ‘cozy chaotic’.
With the profit of this edition of the Dutch Pastry Award, De Hoogeveense is a member of the Dutch Patisseria team for a year. That means she has to prove herself at that time. “If I’m good enough for the team, then I can officially go in,” says Van Breukelen. “Then you really only continue to grow, develop and possibly even more competitions.”
“I don’t really have a goal with it,” she says. “I just want to get on. I want to learn more from the patisserie. I am also sure that I have not been finished in a long way. But it is about where I was for this competition that you actually do not know how you could learn more and the team will continue.”
