Pastry chef & co-owner
Meet Tanya Novak
Le Cordon Bleu-trained, leading the creative direction behind Art Bakery's cakes and desserts.
Tanya trained at Le Cordon Bleu before working the pastry stations at Michelin-starred J’AIME by Jean-Michel Lorain in Bangkok and at Maxim’s. She went on to study chocolate work at the Callebaut Chocolate Academy in Belgium, and has taught pastry technique to chefs across China, Thailand, Austria, Poland, Spain, Romania and Germany.
Today she co-owns Art Bakery and designs every cake on our menu — from birthday classics to full wedding tiers — alongside running the pastry case you’ll find in all our locations.
“Tanya carries a very good working attitude, is highly self-motivated and helpful, and constantly improves quality standards.” — Amerigo Tito Sesti, Head Chef, J’AIME
“Tanya demonstrated flexibility working with different nationalities and communicates efficiently with all team members.” — Andrew Tan, Owner, Maxim’s Bistro
