In the art world, we may be used to seeing sculptures made of ceramic or marble, but what about sculptures that are made of chocolate? You’ve probably seen Amaury’s chocolate sculptures on social media, especially Instagram and Tik Tok. The chef, half French, half Swedish, has brought fresh air into the global pastry industry thanks to his unique talent. Amaury Guichon, who started his training in small-scale patisseries in France at an early age, continues to take firm steps forward in his career in the light of his experience.

Delicious Sculptures with Different Designs
For me, the key to success is to recognize an opportunity when it arises. Don’t be afraid to seize that opportunity because you only get that opportunity once and it may be irreversible.
-Amaury Guichon
Sweet Competition of Talented Pastry Chefs
The documentary is about a competitive competition between talented pastry chefs with a variety of recipes and cultures from different parts of the world. The competitors, who have been working in their respective fields for a long time, and almost all of whom own a patisserie, had the opportunity to learn different techniques throughout the documentary. In each episode, a new technique was first demonstrated to the pastry chefs by Amaury Guichon and then they were asked to apply these techniques in their own imaginative designs. Keeping in mind that the competitors are also professionals, the colors and designs of the resulting sculptures present a visual feast for documentary lovers.
“How does chocolate form a durable structure without melting for a long time?”
This question may come to the minds of the viewers during the making of the sculptures. While some chocolates melt even when we leave them in our hands or on any surface for just a minute, it may sound interesting to use them in sculpture making. At this point, Amaury Guichon emphasizes that the chocolate used is of critical features. These are:
- Content
- Thickness
- Ambient temperature and humidity
In short, materials with special ingredients are used to make these works of art.
