Scrolling through his Twitter account, what interested us about Marcolini is his interest in cocoa. Marcolini picks the beans for his chocolate creations himself and has dedicated his business to ethical acquisition.
According to The Bulletin, the World Pastry Stars award which is the most important international competition dedicated to pastry chefs comes as House Pierre Marcolini celebrates its 25th anniversary. Explaining about the unanimous award, the jury said that the award was a tribute to the virtuoso who has “internationally promoted the profession of pastry making through his creativity, his products, and his commercial and business value, according to the news site.
Below are some of the unique creations we are drooling over by Marcolini.
