About Alain
Alain Shocron, the mastermind behind La Noisette Sweets, discovered his love for cooking at a young age, learning from his mother in Morocco. After moving to Spain and later to Paris and Montreal, Alain's passion for culinary arts remained a constant influence in his life. He eventually pursued formal cooking classes, where he developed a particular affinity for desserts and pastries, especially French pastries. Alain's dedication to his craft led him to create 10,000 desserts from scratch for formal events and perfect his skills for small-scale private parties, weddings, and showers. With a focus on flavor, ingredients, and imagination, Alain strives to make each cake, pastry, or sweet the most memorable first bite.
