Coming Up
Pastry technique sits at the center of Christophe Sportellini’s work, with chocolate and sugar showpieces as the clearest expression of that practice. Born in Cannes, France, he moved from professional kitchens into teaching, carrying the same emphasis on precision into both roles. “My favorite pastry projects are chocolate and sugarwork.”
Where They Are Now
At Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa, pastry instruction is the current frame for Christophe Sportellini’s work, where making and teaching sit side by side. The theatrical side of the craft is visible in his use of anime and Disney as reference points; those images inform pastry showpieces in which chocolate and sugar are shaped into structured displays rather than conventional desserts.
In Their Words “I am big fan of anime so sometimes I take my inspiration from Japanese animes and Disney movies, transforming the dreams into pastry showpieces.” “My favorite pastry projects are chocolate and sugarwork.”
