Adriano Zumbo, Australia's answer to Willy Wonka, will trade the kitchen for the beach when he comes to the Nambucca Valley on Australia Day next year.
He is among a raft of high-achieving Australians announced on Monday as 2017 ambassadors.
Zumbo is one of Australia’s most celebrated patissiers – whose creativity is evident in every layer of his elaborate desserts. His first taste of the sweet life was raiding the lollies and cake mix from his parents’ supermarket.
His love affair with pastry began at 15 when he started his apprenticeship.
His swiftly expanding empire began in 2007 and an appearance on the first series of MasterChef Australia helped introduce the croquembouche to an even wider audience and made Adriano – and macarons – a household name.
Adriano has now opened nine stores throughout NSW and Victoria and has also released three bestselling cookbooks.
