Doyen tells us, “my first memory of making a cake was at the age of 10. I had cooked an 8cm-tall chocolate cake that obtained its full magnificence as I had added a hen made of powdered sugar on top of it. I had realized for the first time how important design was to me. Since then, I haven’t stopped my research for beauty and taste in all my creations ”. With this book, he adds, “I am opening the world of my pastry creations by sharing with you my best realizations from idea to conception. I am also disclosing all my know-how with the techniques that I have developed in order to achieve beautiful but also pastry that sells well. The recipes were done during my experiences all over the world and they match with local and international tastes. They have made my career over the last six years. Today, I have decided to reveal all of my pastry secrets to you ”.
