Hello, I'm Joel B.

Originally trained in France​,​ I have spent over 30 years living out my passion as a pastry chef​,​ including years running my own boutique café and patisserie in Sydney. For five years​,​ I had the incredible privilege of teaching at Le Cordon Bleu Sydney​,​ training and inspiring the next generation of pastry chefs from all corners of the globe. Today​,​ I bring that same fire into my hands-on workshops​,​ designed to empower you in your own kitchen. Every single week​,​ I look forward to my classes with that exact same day-one passion. My goal isn't just to teach you a recipe; I want you to truly master the techniques​,​ secrets​,​ and science behind French patisserie so you can recreate them confidently at home. Whether we are tempering chocolate​,​ rolling layers for perfect croissants​,​ or building delicate choux pastries​,​ you are in expert hands. For me​,​ these classes are about so much more than just baking​,​ they are about connection​,​ creativity​,​ and passing on a beautiful skill that you will be deeply proud of.
