Incredible Architectural Designs Made From Chocolate by Amaury Guichon

Amaury Guichon is an international pastry chef and consultant based in Las Vegas who has sculpted unbelievable chocolate creations during the last decade of his career. Recently the talented confection artist completed a Greek Atlas with an armillary sphere on his back, a detailed gramophone, and a nearly life-size cherry blossom tree, all made entirely from the malleable material. Guichon started his career at the age of 14, with apprenticeships throughout Switzerland and France, and at age 21 he was hired as the youngest executive pastry chef in Paris.

As of late last year, Guichon is the most followed pastry artist on Facebook and Instagram. Recently he has developed a master class to teach and consult pastry chefs from around the world. You can see a time-lapse video of his sculpted chocolate gramophone (with functioning drawer and gilded “metalwork”) in the Instagram video below.
