A guided 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.
