On the website, Talula shares her passion for pastry and details the experiences that shaped her career. She writes:

During her time at Le Cordon Bleu, Talula dedicated herself to mastering basic and intermediate techniques associated with patisserie. She honed her abilities to create delectable delights, staying true to their origins and ensuring consistency. Some of her notable creations include macaroons, entremets, and mille-feuilles.
Her education didn’t stop there; Talula further expanded her skills by working as a pastry cook at Gucci Osteria in Beverly Hills, a Michelin-starred establishment. This opportunity allowed her to work with some of the finest chefs, crafting exquisite desserts that left lasting impressions on discerning palates.
Talula’s journey is far from over. She continues to refine her skills and expand her culinary knowledge. Currently, she is studying plant-based patisserie to understand this emerging diet trend and incorporate it into her creations.
She believes that pastry is an ever-evolving art and is dedicated to staying at its forefront. Her website serves as a platform to share insights and experiences with fellow pastry enthusiasts, curious foodies, and those seeking restaurant recommendations.
Patrick’s pride in his daughter’s accomplishments is evident, and the public’s reaction highlights the strong bond between the father-daughter duo. The “Thanksgiving” actor finds great joy in being a dad to Talula Dempsey and his 17-year-old twin sons, Sullivan and Darby, whom he shares with his wife Jillian Fink Dempsey.

In a November 2023 interview with People magazine, the beloved actor reflected on his role as a father and his journey from being known as “McDreamy” to becoming the ultimate family man. He also emphasized the importance of patience. “I’m much better about being patient than I was in the past,” he shared.

Patrick acknowledged the challenges of raising teenagers, highlighting the need for balance. “Because you need to be around, but they don’t want you around because they’re fighting for their independence, which they should. They need to find out how they interact in the world, they need to learn those boundaries, they need to make mistakes. And you need to be there for them and allow them to learn from that.”
The actor also credited his sons for keeping him active and engaged. “They keep me very active,” he said. “I need to stay in shape to keep up with them. The older you get, the more work you have to put in.”
In terms of his kids embracing his title as “Sexiest Man Alive” by People Magazine in 2023, Patrick expected them to “just make fun of me and pick on me and figure out every reason why I shouldn’t be,” he said, laughing. “Which is good, they keep me young.”
