“I’m passionate about cakes and sugar decoration and would like to offer you the very best of French Culinary Art on your Wedding Day”
Julien’s passion for cakes began in his father’s famous Michelin Star restaurant (Le Beau Rivage) on the West coast of France. Very young, he learned the secrets of French Cuisine and Cake Confectionery.
