Cassandra Callahan, Pastry Chef

Cassandra Callahan, Ciao! Bakery’s original pastry chef, prides herself on using only the finest and freshest locally sourced ingredients. Under Cassandra’s direction, Ciao! Bakery’s European-style artisan breads, famously delicious small and large bites, pastries and out-of-this-world wedding and specialty cakes make us the Harrisburg bakery customers count on most.

Casey, originally from Scranton, PA, graduated from the Restaurant School of Philadelphia in 1999. She baked and plated her way around the city at local restaurants and hotels, honing her skills and developing her own personal style of baking, before settling in Harrisburg with now-husband, Brian, in 2001.

As the first Pastry Chef at the Hilton Harrisburg, Casey began developing menus and training the bakers that would, in a few years, be the starting lineup of Ciao! Bakery. She found her home in 2006 with the opening of Ciao! Bakery, where she puts her personal touch into every dessert that leaves the shop, the plated desserts in Bricco, or the various wholesale customers she serves.
