Wedding Cake Anyone?

Chef is working hard to build up our portfolio of wedding cakes - this three tiered cake with macarons

Tres Jolie - Very Pretty

I am talking about the cake ladies, not the Chef!!!

We are receiving an influx of cake requests, birthdays parties any occasion so its time to build our portfolio -

this is a pretty cake full of soft colours - coral, beige and pale pink. Name your colour and we can do your cake!

We are now a movable feast!

A big thanks to our partners at Taste  - De Dietrich - for giving us a fabulous space to work with! Purpose built with fantastic french appliances this kitchen model can be moved to different locations with ease. Look out for  Patisse and De Dietrich at our next event!

Two Frenchman on one Stage!

Is the De Dietrich stage large enough for Sydney's two Frenchmen about town? Absolutely - The last day of an event like Taste is always the most fun - everyones relaxed, having fun and a guest chef comes to visit. The Vincent and Manu double act was no exception - lots of laughs, Vincent wearing meringue (yes Manu tipped it on his head) and Manu the cheeky frenchman. All in all a fabulous event Taste,  looking forward to 2012!



Taste of Sydney - Day 2

A busy day for Vincent - 4 demos in the De Dietrich stand then a quick run across the grass to do a demo in the Gourmet Traveller stand - a day in the life of a pastry chef!

An it Begins - Taste of Sydney

After weeks of preparation Taste of Sydney finally begins - Firstup a fab cocktail party where as you can see a cool lineup of Sydneys hottest chefs  - Vincents dead centre in the middle of all the action. We provided some yummy dessert canapes - bebeclairs and palet d'argent (chocolate with silverleaf).  After a quick celebratory champagne, it was off to the De Dietrich Appliance stand to host the first of our two demonstrations with Vincent's new product and Michelle and Sofia as the "backing group". A fabulous start to the show - one day done and three to go - loving it!!!
