Patisserie Claire

So recently I visited this amazing cupcake heaven called Patisserie Claire. This lovely patisserie is based in Milnerton Cape Town and specializes in cakes, pastries and tarts that will make you run back for more!

The beautiful blue-eyed Claire's a  real creative soul and have put her hands to many different crafts. After some years within the corporate world, Claire made the decision to follow her heart to become a Pastry Chef.  At the age of 28, she gave up her job and went back to studying full time. She graduated with distinctions in both her local and international (City & Guilds) exams and was the Patisserie Graduate of the Year. Wowzer, what a go-getter!
