As a team of skilled pastry chefs and consultants hand-in-hand with Chef Elena Kalmykova, we create modern and healthier desserts for the HoReCa sector (hotels, cafés, and restaurants) as well as for the retail.
We adapt classical desserts to meet various dietary needs and craft delicious desserts for everyone. Our repertoire includes low sugar, sugar-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan desserts that don't compromise on taste.
Our pastry chef consultant services extend beyond dessert creation. We offer comprehensive pastry training for staff, covering both the specific desserts we develop and general pastry skills. The training services are available across the globe: Europe, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Quatar, Bahrain and other countries.

Proposal
We study your answers and propose a range of options with pictures and a short description of each dessert. From this list you then select desserts that you like most.
Recipe development and staff training
Before we start, we send you a list of the necessary equipment and ingredients. On your production site we create recipes and train your staff so that they can make them with confidence.
Tasting and beginning the collaboration

FAQ
Classical desserts with a modern twist and a few healthier options is the most common request for recipe development today. It helps you attract not only those who prefer traditional sweets, but also customers who are keen on healthier and lighter options.
Every situation is different depending on the region you are in, how much staff you have, how many desserts we are creating and their complexity.
It's the same as for the duration – every project is special and all costs are tailored to each specific case.
Most projects we work with are about 10 or more desserts, so this is an average I have fixed for myself. I consider other projects as well – just drop us a line by e-mail or via the form above!
We work online, too! Instead of doing a tasting we share a recipe that you can prepare and taste with our guidance, we train staff via Zoom and send you recipes online. This way of interaction may work for projects when you are on a tight budget including consulting services.
We work on projects globally. Chef Elena is bilingual in English and French, whilst other team members speak English as well which helps us be in the know of European and global pastry trends and communicate with our foreign colleagues.
We do! We help business owners and pastry chefs optimize their current work flow, increase the desserts shelf life, improve their taste and their visual aspect etc. Please fill in the form below and we will get in touch with you shortly.
