About Me

Adriano Zumbo

Hello, I'm Adriano Zumbo or just call me old mate! If you can't remember. Welcome to a slice of my introverted mind. I've previously been a judge on Zumbo's just desserts and Sugar rush, book author and Patisserie business owner. I live in a house made of chocolate, with a macaron roof and marshmallow floors, the taps run with caramel and raspberry sauce and every night I sleep in my comfy 24hr bread with wafer paper sheets. I love hunting for mousse and dream of one day visiting the planet donut know and learning more. Join me on an adventure of imagination, tales and just outright drool worthy food creations, with a dash of my life journey sauce. Lets keep making magic!
