Vancouver – Baking professionals across Canada now have another reason to come to Vancouver for Bakery Showcase in May. Bruno Feldeisen, world-renowned chef and judge on CBC’s Great Canadian Baking Show, will be our very special guest at the show. Chef Bruno will help judge our Mother’s Day Celebration Student Cake-Decorating Competition, sponsored by Dawn Foods, and sign copies of his book, Baking with Bruno, at the Baking Association of Canada booth.

Bruno Feldeisen was born in the small town of Clermont-Ferrand, France. He began his career as an apprentice at one of France’s most renowned chocolate shops in Moulins: Les Palets d’Or. He graduated from his apprenticeship with an almost-perfect score.

After working as a chocolatier at Hotel de Paris in Monaco under the leadership of Chef Alain Ducasse, Bruno moved to the United States in 1988, working in a number of prestigious restaurants and hotels in California such as Patina and the Highlands Inn.
