The patisserie scene is one of curiosity, innovation and dedication; factors which persuaded Kirsten Tibballs to open her own business, Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School, in 2002. In such a fast paced environment there is a need for constant creativity to develop new ideas and produce show stopping results. We’re fortunate enough to partner with some of the most creative chefs from across the globe to share their knowledge and expertise through our Guest Chef series.
