My Name is Sophie Lewis, I have been a professional pastry chef for 12 years and now own Pure Patisserie. After leaving catering college with level 2 in professional cookery I began in the work place as a commis chef at a four star country hotel. Since those early days I have gained a wealth of experience working in luxury hotels and high end restaurants, including three different Michelin starred restaurants.
My most recent role before starting my own business was that of Senior Pastry Chef at the Michelin starred restaurant in Claridges (formerly Fera) in Mayfair London. As well as running the busy section, my role at Claridges included testing and designing innovative desserts for the menu.
In February 2019 I established Pure Patisserie, in 2023 we transferred to a larger unit to enable our bake school and bespoke cake market to grow. Within the business we specialise in high end patisserie and cake production, including wedding cakes, afternoon tea and tasting menu events as well as our professional Bake School.
I love that we can offer a hands on baking experience in our fully equipped school, we find teaching and sharing our knowledge is so rewarding. Knowing we can help others to further their skills and find cooking from home an enjoyable and less stressful experience, is our main goal!
