Established in 1972 as a purveyor of fine European Pastry, cookies, party cakes, wedding cakes, and specialty cakes is now entering the mail order business through our web site. Today, Continental Pastry Inc. is involved in many areas of the food service industry. Some of which are: Hotels, Country Clubs, Restaurants, Catering Halls, Food Distributors, and some of the superior airlines, such as, Lufthansa, British Airways, ANA Airlines, and the Concord.

It was in 1972 that Horst Fierek opened Continental Pastry Inc. on Grand Avenue in Maspeth, New York in hopes of selling his European style of pastries, cookies, and cakes. With the help and energy of his wife Margrit and their three sons; Mark, Glenn, and Dean, it took the better part of twelve weeks, at times working 18 hour days to turn what was once a factory into an thriving pastry shop.

After setting up the pastry shop, Horst's next concern was to bring in the clientele needed to make the business successful. He contacted Hotels and Country Clubs hoping that they would purchase his high quality European pastry in quantity, at a wholesale level. He found several prominent Hotels and Country Clubs willing to purchase his products.

Margrit on the other hand was left in charge of the retail aspect of the pastry shop. And due to her warm and friendly nature, the retail store thrived as a place to pick up tasty desserts. The boys also chipped in doing everything from mixing and finishing to making deliveries and folding boxes. Needless to say, everyone did what they could in order to help the family business succeed.

Twenty-five years later, Horst and Margrit's sons Mark and Dean are continuing the family traditions of presenting the finest quality European pastry to wholesale customers ( Hotels, Country Clubs and Airlines) as well as the retail customers.

In an effort to bring their products to a larger audience, Mark and Dean have decided to open a mail order business through the Internet and allow people all over the world to enjoy their products. Periodically new items will be featured on the site to go with different seasons and holidays. After viewing the site, please feel free to leave any suggestions or comments on our feed back page.
