Meet the world’s best wedding cake designer.
Born in the beautiful town of Annecy in the Haute-Savoie region of France, Bastien Blanc-Tailleur has always been passionate about pastry-making. “As far back as I can remember, I never missed a chance to eat patisseries.
I can think of nothing more delightful than the simplicity of a good chocolate mousse, the fluffy texture of brioche or the crunch of flaky pastry.” In his teens, his passion became his livelihood, starting with a job near Deauville, laying the groundwork for his future career. He moved on to work in Toulouse, then Paris, never wavering from his goal of excellence and participating in a number of professional competitions along the way. “Rigor, passion and self-sacrifice have enabled me to master the many facets of professional pastry-making. It took years of hard work and perseverance to achieve the savoir-faire I use today to make my unique creations.” An accomplished pastry chef, he has held the position of assistant pastry chef in several prestigious Parisian establishments such as the Carette tea room, the three-star Pavillon Ledoyen restaurant and Four Seasons Hotel George V. He deployed his cake decorating expertise in each of these illustrious kitchens, seizing the opportunity to create his first wedding cakes. Building on this experience and driven by the desire to take his passion for decorating to the next level, he created his own studio in 2015, providing services for high-profile events.
