ROLAND MESNIER served as Executive Pastry Chef for the White House for 25 years and has created unique and beautiful desserts for five Presidents, their families, and countless heads of state, dignitaries, and celebrity guests. His inspired creations dazzled five Presidents and their families—Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and current President Bush—as well as the heads of state and other foreign dignitaries who were lucky enough to sample his sweets.

In his latest book ALL THE PRESIDENTS’ PASTRIES:
Twenty-Five Years in the White House: A Memoir
(Flammarion; February 19, 2007; $24.95 ; hardcover), Mesnier tells his extraordinary success story: from his modest childhood as one of nine children raised in rural France, to his apprenticeship in a pastry shop at the age of twelve, and from his rise up the ranks working for such legendary establishments as the Savoy in London and the George V in Paris, to his taking on the job of a lifetime when he was hired as the White House pastry chef by Rosalynn Carter in 1980.
