If you think you’ve seen food art, think again. Amaury Guichon has completely changed the game with his epic realistic sculptures made from the tastiest medium ever—chocolate. Creating pieces bigger than himself and made 100% out of edible materials, these sculptures will make you believe that anything is possible, even when you’re working with chocolate!
Growing up in Geneva, this French-born pastry chef discovered his love for pastries and the food industry at just 13 years old. He studied and practiced for years, even being moved to his hometown of Cannes, France to run the boutique of the prestigious Maison Lenôtre. It was when he moved to Las Vegas that his career really began to find its direction and take off.
He began to work at the Aria Pattiserie to practice and branch out from what he knew. “Working at this renowned establishment in the world capital of showbusiness, I refined the visual presentations of my desserts,” Guichon told Les vergers Boigon,” but without ever sacrificing the essential principle of taste. I wanted to create a fusion between French Taste and American Showmanship.”
He has found his calling in sculpting, using cake, fillings, and of course, chocolate to create pieces that look so accurate, you might not even know they were edible. His works range from chocolate chandeliers to crocodiles, to foosball tables,
And now at just 29 years old, Guichon has amassed an incredible following of fans, who are eager to see what he creates next. He’s humble—every post shows the entire process of creating the sculpture from start to finish, so if you also wanted to try your hand at sculpting, you could! Or you can apply to his pastry school!
