Rachel Levesque
A course by Rachel Levesque
Rachel Levesque is a pastry designer and illustrator based in Lille, in the north of France. Winner of the television competition for the Best Pastry Chef in 2017, she had the bright idea of combining her two passions for pastry and illustration by launching her own brand Happy Pastille, with which she makes cookies and decorations for cakes.
She first began to paint on meringue, marshmallow, chocolate, before discovering that cookies are great mediums for expressing her creativity. Major brands such as Chanel, Clarins, and even Cabaïa have already succumbed to the childish and flowery charm of her creations.

Bem didático e com excelente material.
Das hat viel Spaß gemacht, vor allem weil es zwei meiner Vorlieben verbindet: Backen und Aquarellieren. Vielen Dank für den tollen Kurs.
Questo corso mi è piaciuto molto, ben spiegato, chiaro e comprensibile. Ho imparato una nuova tecnica che sfrutterò nel mio lavoro. Lo consiglio sicuramente!
Me ha gustado, repetiria!!
Me gustà el curso, parece muy sencillo pintar, el ùnico problema es que en mi país Chile, no tenemos esos colorantes, pero me encantò la tècnica y la profesora se ve muy dispuesta a ensañar.
