More About Abigail Dahan

Abby grew up in Paris where food and desserts were a huge part of her life. Abby’s dad worked in French chocolate sales and her mom was and still is an awesome cook and baker. Abby was fortunate to attend one of the best pastry schools in Paris, Gregoire Ferrandi and she apprenticed at the famed Gerard Mulot. There, she learned to have thick skin and make a mean entremet. From banquets of 2,000 people in Orlando to competitions in Chicago, to ultra-fine dining at Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas, Abby eventually returned to her other home, Philadelphia, and put down roots. In Philadelphia, Abby worked for the ever-popular PARC Restaurant for seven years. Today, she founded The Bake School where she’s doing something she absolutely loves.
