About Flora

From the bench to the consulting table

Flora brings eighteen years of pastry craft shaped across Europe, Oceania, and Asia — from training under Belgian chocolatier Pierre Marcolini, to working the pastry section at Sydney's Quay Restaurant. Every chapter of that journey feeds back into her work at the bench today. She now leads pastry at Flow Gâteau in Taipei, and consults on dessert R&D for brands through Chengfang Enterprise.

Inspiration

Two Coordinates of Inspiration

The Sea

Tides keep their own time — slow, cyclical, never in a hurry. Flora often finds inspiration on the beach after the tide goes out: the salt in the air, the dryness of the wind, the dampness the waves leave behind. Those sensations eventually become the detail in a dessert that you can't see, only taste.

Nature

The humidity of a forest, the scent of ripening fruit, the shift in the air between seasons — all of it finds a page in her recipe notebook. Rather than chase trends, she follows nature's own calendar, so every dessert carries a trace of the season it was made in.
