Pastry Magician Amaury Guichon

Every week I receive lovely reader emails with questions ranging from recipe alternatives to restaurant recommendations. But one of my most common emails is about my preferences for Instagram. Everyone wants to be following the “it” foodie on the social media site and I am no different. I indulge in scrolling through my Instagram feed and delighting at the edible creations by foodie rockstars. Since I can’t personally reply to all of your emails, I started this little post series highlighting the best Instagram accounts. Since February, when I introduced you guys to Paris Chez Sharon, the post has actually become one of our most viewed of all time! I get it, you take your Instagram feeds very seriously. So, without further ado let me introduce you to Amaury Guichon, the pasty chef extraordinaire taking Instagram by storm…

Filled with porcelain-like cakes, complex pastries, and life-size chocolate sculptures, Amaury’s Instagram is unreal. A pastry chef at Las Vegas’ Aria Jean Philippe Patisserie, he is slated to be the best food artist the world has ever seen. And get this… he’s only in his twenties! I think it is safe to say that we have many more years of enjoying (and hopefully sampling) his delightful creations.
