Pastry Academy by Amaury Guichon

How Amaury Guichon Became TikTok’s Favorite Pastry Chef | Eater

"He founded a Las Vegas culinary school where he teaches aspiring pastry chefs, stages and preserves his over-the-top chocolate sculptures for educational use, and filmed his Netflix series there; the workshop is packed with specialized, nontraditional equipment (water-jet cutter, wood lathe, pottery wheel, drills) that enables oversized, interactive showpieces — from an eight-foot chocolate giraffe and full-size alligator to functional items like a locking safe and playable games — most of which are displayed for students, occasionally sold, and ultimately recycled by melting and reusing every shaving of chocolate when necessary." - Amy McCarthy
