Web developer turned pastry chef, I have spent the past 16 years chasing after my passion for baking. Considering the amount of elaborate birthday cakes my mother baked for our birthdays 🎂, and the number of baking books I skimmed through as a child, it was only natural that my love for pastries would eventually develop into a life-long career and replace the path I started on 💜
Jordanian born and raised, I left my IT job after a few years and moved to Paris to study for the Grand Pastry Diploma at Le Cordon Bleu, which then turned into a whirlwind of unexpected events & jobs in Paris, Jordan, and Stockholm. Starting off as a cake designer in Paris, heading my own cake & catering studio in Jordan, and finally moving to Stockholm in 2016 where I headed Grand Hotel's pastry kitchen until 2021.
I currently Head the pastry team at Fotografiska Stockholm, and run a consulting / teaching business on the side. I am motivated by challenges, deadlines, positive energy and beautiful auras ✨. Love connecting with people and catering to pastry enthusiasts 🍰🧁🥐. I offer private catering as well as pastry courses, and have a weak spot for extravagant requests!
I look forward to many fun events with Bestick. If you can imagine it, we can probably make it happen, and remember, there is always room for dessert! 🤗
