Franck Michel

Currently dedicated to consulting and training around the world, Franck Michel won the MOF Pâtissier in 2004, just two years before becoming world champion at the World Pastry Team Championship in Phoenix, USA.

His talents and skills have excelled in both pastry creations in general and with chocolate in particular. In terms of his style, he likes to define himself as classic and contemporary at the same time. Classic due to the influences he takes as a starting point for his creativity and modern by how he updates them.
