From 2010 to 2013, we have teamed up with various professional bakers and chefs to spread the word about French Glacé Cherries. They created inventive and exciting recipes, showing that our product can be used for much more than just decoration.

Pastry chef and food blogger Cindy Robert started her blog Food For Thoughts in 2011. It started off through wanting to share the ins and outs of an exciting and unusual project with her friends: she was involved in a baking project with The London Wildlife Trust at the House of Commons!  From there, her blog Food for Thoughts took off and today she shares recipes, tips and reviews of coffee shops and restaurants from both London and South Korea, a country she’s passionate about.
In February 2012, Cindy took a leap of faith and started her very own Catering and Pâtisserie business, Petit Gâteau, where she specialises in French and Japanese pâtisserie.
Working for corporate and brand events (Reiss, Monsieur London, Boulle International, …) but also for private clients, she enjoys sharing her passion for cuisine and her interest in Asian cultures. She was part of the line-up of “Matsuri in London”, a Japanese foodie festival organised in July 2013 with Chef Tim Anderson. She also writes a monthly column in the French magazine for expats in London, Ici Londres.
Cindy runs cooking classes, and is currently working with Korean companies to develop new exciting baked products for the Korean market.
