Candia Professional Pastry Demo 2026: Artisanal French Patisserie at Its Finest! 🎉✨
We were truly honoured to host an exclusive pastry demonstration in Hong Kong featuring Candia Chef Ambassador Allen Chen () — acclaimed pastry chef and owner of Brillante Patisserie! 👨🍳✨
During the exclusive demo, Chef Allen showcased his artistry using Candia Gourmet Unsalted Butter 82% and Gourmet 40% Fat Cream — the butter, crafted from 100% French cream with a unique lactic fermentation process, delivers exceptional pliability and a rich, aromatic flavour; the 40% cream offers unmatched stability, versatile performance for every application💪🏻and a luxuriously smooth, non‑greasy finish. These premium ingredients were the foundation of his stunning creations✨.
What made this demonstration exceptional was 👨🍳✨Chef Allen's captivating teaching style — his technical explanations were clear, his passion infectious, and his storytelling brought each creation to life. Every technique was demonstrated with precision and artistry, inspiring nearly 80F&B professionals in attendance🎉.

🍪 Sable Sandwich Collection (Dancing Tea, Salted Egg Yolk Caramel, Brown Sugar Longan Rum)
🍰 Saint‑Honoré
🥧 Galette des Rois
⭐ Signature "Etoile"
