Meet the Business Owner

Wolfgang K.

Business Owner

Wolfgang’s desire to create more than just cakes began when he was a child working in the family Café business in Munich. He went onto complete his baking apprenticeship with honours while working in one of Munich’s leading cake shops, Café Arzmiller.

He has worked with Feinkost Kafter and picked up work in London and Bermuda before returning home to take up a position as the Executive Pastry Chef for Movenpik in Munich.

His obsession to produce quality cakes of artistic perfection didn’t waver and so he took his career to the next level and went back to school in Munich. Over the next twelve months he completed his master certificate «Meisterbrief» with honours once again.

These qualifications and passion for perfection, opened many new doors and opportunities including scoring a position as the Head Pastry Chef for another leading bakery in Munich.

Finally comfortable with the achievements in his homeland, Wolfgang decided it was time to take his craft to the rest of the world.
