Daniel Rosales

Executive Pastry Chef

Chef Daniel Rosales was born and raised in the outlying suburbs of Detroit, MI. He has been baking since he was tall enough to reach the countertops, & began his professional career in high school, taking orders for cakes /desserts from home. Immediately after graduating, Daniel moved to Dallas, TX, and enrolled in culinary school at Collin College, eventually graduating in 2018 with an Associates Degree in Baking & Pastry Arts, as well as a Certificate in Advanced Pastry Arts. From there, various job opportunities with several incredible pastry chefs across DFW, lead him to excel through his career. At 23 , he secured the role of VIP Pastry Chef at the 2021 US Open in NYC; and a few months later made his way onto the Food Network where he competed on Holiday Wars Season 4, surviving every round of the competition (and winning a few!) to make it to the season finale where he finished as the runner-up. Always striving to push the limits of what a dessert can be, or what can be a dessert, Chef Daniel continues to experiment with new techniques and flavors in every dish he creates. His passion for his craft eventually led him to join the team at Cathedral Italian Bistro, as Executive Pastry Chef, creating the restaurant’s house-made desserts, breads, gelatos, & baked goods!
