Pastry Chef
Tiara Bennett
Raised in Brooklyn, Tiara Bennett spent her entire life in the kitchen in some way or another. She has worked in hospitality for many years but her love of combining food with art, adventure, culture, love, and family was the reason she decided to attend the International Culinary Center. After graduating with honors, she worked for the likes of Tao Group, Union Square Hospitality, and most recently Cafe Boulud and Restaurant Daniel with the Dinex Group. Tiara likes the idea of combining premium flavors with classic favorites, like a yuzu olive oil cake, or a classic chocolate brownie made with brown butter and topped with Maldon salt. The flavors remind you of home with a high-end twist! Tiara eventually wants to start community programs educating the youth in her community on proper kitchen etiquette and simple baking techniques.
