Famous for his desserts in the shape of flowers and trompe-l’œil fruits, Cedric Grolet is a force to be reckoned with in the world of pâtisserie. This hardworking virtuoso assumed the post of chef pâtissier (head pastry chef) at the celebrated Hôtel Meurice in Paris in 2012. Soon dubbed “the best pastry chef in the world”, he opened his first shop at the hotel in 2018, followed by a second a few streets away in the Avenue de l’Opéra.

With an impressive community totalling 15 million subscribers on Instagram and TikTok, Cedric Grolet has enthralled a global audience. He has extended his influence as far as London and, more recently, Singapore. Driven as much by his passion as his ambition, he does not show any intention of slowing down his march towards new horizons.

‘I love things that are pure, elegant, complete.’ Cedric Grolet
