Hello Berlin #5 - Laura Villanueva The Pastry Chef you wanna - and will - lean on
From catering to candy couture, Laura Villanueva is the one you want to count on for your sweet tooth fix. She is the lady you dream about when you are searching for the perfect cake or pastry for that special occasion. She was one of the few pastry chefs based in Berlin who has had experience not only with the well-known The Store Kitchen at the Soho House Berlin, but who has also founded has her own successful business, a catering company called Tausendsuend. Her vegan and raw vegan creations have become her specialties and are what she is gaining recognition for. Inspired by her great work and her outstanding, cheerful personality, we grabbed the chance to talk with her. What follows is a truthful talk with a woman on the watch, who combines motherhood, business and that "coolness" of Berlin in just one persona – I’m happy to introduce to you to the fifth round of our series "Hello from Berlin“:
#9 Is there anything you have dreamt of doing just once in your career?
I have always had a pretty strong will to work on my dreams coming true, and I have been pretty lucky in succeeding at that, so I guess not really.

Talent! Discipline you can learn or push yourself to, talent is a gift!

My kids and salted caramel!
