Elena Kalmykova: Pastry Chef and Pastry Consultant
Working with the talented team at Café Pouchkine, a premium pastry shop, I successfully launched their key location at Place de la Madeleine in the heart of Paris.
I prepared desserts at Le Pavillon Ledoyen***, a 3 star Michelin restaurant on the iconic Champs-Élysées and had the opportunity to serve a dessert to Nicolas Sarkozy, the former President of France.
As a pastry chef and a consultant, I had the privilege of introducing 2 unique desserts to the brunch menu of the Trianon Palace***** in Versailles, a 5 star hotel with a 1 star Michelin restaurant.
In 2017, I completed my culinary journey at Ferrandi Paris, the prestigious culinary institution renowned for its rich history and tradition in French gastronomy, marking the start of my career as a Chef pâtissier (pastry chef).
Beyond my work in the kitchen as a chef and a consultant, I am also spokesperson and teacher at higher education culinary institutions like the reknown Institut Paul Bocuse and the Russian annual gastronomic conferences, Chef's Breakfast and Moscow Cake Show.
My expertise extends to creating dessert collections for a variety of establishments, including a prestigious pastry shop, a bakery chain, a retail dessert company, a tea shop, and a wine bar. Including a range of dietary needs, offering gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan, and low-sugar options.
I designed a new menu concept for a chain of 5 pastry shops, strengthening their reputation and securing their position as the #1 place for desserts in the city.

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 I 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 me a line by e-mail or via the form above!
I do take on online projects, too! Instead of doing a tasting I share a recipe that you can prepare and taste with my guidance, I 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.
I currently work in Russia and the CIS countries, however it is my intention to coin 3 projects abroad in 2022. I speak French and English fluently which helps me be in the know of European and global pastry trends and communicate with my foreign colleagues.
I do! I 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 I will get in touch with you shortly.
Sure. I will identify the root of the problem with you and write a step-by-step plan to fix it. It may take up to several months depending on what we will have to work on. I will be happy to help you out — please leave me your details in the form below!
