Hi! I’m Hanbit, professional pastry chef and CEO of Sugar Lane Baking Academy based in Seoul, Korea. Funny enough, my background had nothing to do with baking - far from it. I studied mathematics at university and then worked in finance, strategy consulting and IT. Then one day in 2018, I quit my job and enrolled at a pastry school. I have loved it ever since! As my story suggests, I really enjoy being a pastry chef and I am keen to share the joy of baking with as many people as possible. Baking can seem daunting at first but as long as you take it step-by-step anyone can do it - even someone with no baking background like myself managed to become a professional pastry chef! I'll try my best to include detailed explanations and tips in my recipes so that you will be able to bake amazing desserts. I aim to create videos that can be enjoyed by people at all levels - those who bake for fun as well as those who want to get more serious.

I love mango puddings. This mango pudding is pretty much like a mango mousse – so more of a French style mango pudding.
-
Crème Anglaise is a sauce that’s used widely in pastry so it’s essential to get it right. The key to cooking crème anglaise is to get the consistency right and I’ve explained this in detail in the video.
As mentioned in the video the recipe itself varies massively depending on where it’s used. So pls focus on the technique rather than the recipe written below.

I had this dessert countless times when I was in the UK. It’s essentially a custard pudding and it’s rather simple to make! It’s so fun and delicious to crack and serve the caramel on top and scoop it with the custard pudding below.

This is a legitimate coconut pound cake. I thought a lot about how to add more coconut and the solution was to simply fully cover it with coconut powder! Voila!

We all love New York Cheesecake. This dense cheesecake is heavenly, and I absolutely love it. My recipe contains sour cream which adds acidity and I think it achieves a nice overall balance.
-
You will love this recipe. I love Basque cheesecake – it’s also called burnt cheesecake because you burn the top due to the high temperatures. It gives a smokey caramelized aroma which is absolutely delicious.

This is a super tasty strawberry tart – fairly complex but worth the time and effort. It starts with a tart shell, followed by almond cream. You then lay out a thin layer of strawberry confit and basil whipped cream. Finally, you have fresh strawberries with white wine jelly.
-
Madeleines are classic. We all love them! I’m sharing my recipe of a perfect classic madeleine with a note of vanilla – if you don’t have vanilla powder you can leave it out!
-
They are actually quite different to madeleine as they require brown butter and egg whites (only egg whites).
-
I love banana pudding – who doesn’t? This is great as a dinner table dessert with families and friends.
-
Fudge Brownies are amazing. I actually like them more than cakey brownies – personal preference really. Anyways, enjoy my recipe!
