All the greatest journalists use exclamation points.
First Ever FEMALE Pastry Chef of the Year
EuroWeekly News | 13 Dec 2023 | Jennifer PopplewellIn Paris, France, Nina Metayer is now the first woman to win one of the world’s top pastry chef awards, World Confectioner.
This is the first time in the history of the 92 year award, from the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs, that it has ever gone to a woman! Her incredible cakes were what did the trick, and she explained that she was not one to follow the new low fat trends, “I like cakes with butter, gluten and eggs” she stated, “when we eat a cake, it’s for pleasure.”
… So, she’s a philosopher, to boot.
Although she trained as a baker,
… an important distinction, apparently …
Nina revealed that she found it tough to break into the male dominated world of French boulangeries when she started out 15 years ago. However, Nina Metayer does not currently work in a luxury cafe or even a pastry shop, she actually runs a delivery service out of an industrial space in a business district that is just outside of Paris.
In addition to her career successes, Nina is also a mother of two, and in true magic- multitasking-mother style, she often posts videos on social media of her creating her famous cakes alongside her young daughters. She stated that she “wants to show it is possible to be a female chef, entrepreneur, and have a happy family”.
I would have sworn that was impossible.
What a woman, and an inspiration to young girls, mothers and women everywhere, showing that they too can make their dreams come true!
What a journalist, proving just the opposite!
Those are some fancy macarons…
I’d like to taste her clafoutis…
… one pictures Johnny Carson saying this, then looking at the camera.
She didn’t want to get into this line of work, but she kneaded the dough…
Something about baking pastries while wearing pasties?
Nah, I got nothin.
Something about a great turnover? Join the club — got nothin’.
I prefer gluten free, I don’t like to pay for gluten.
I wouldn’t mind licking her bowl.
I wonder if she needs help buttering her buns?
I’ll be happy to put the creme in her eclair.
That’s an attractive tart – I’d love a little slice.
Sweeeet…
I Can’t Seem To Come Up With a Double Entendre. Any Suggestions?
Nope, but it’s nice that women can finally be recognized for their work in the kitchen. Now how are her sammich making skills?
FINALLY!
Female winner of World Confectioner – a.k.a. Sugar T**s
I bet she’s got some awesome cream pies.
She can puff my pastry.
The way she kneads the dough really helps it rise.
I’ll put a bun in her oven.
