About Me

Hi!

My name is Lara Sperling, and I am originally from Berlin, Germany, where I completed my professional training as a pastry chef over ten years ago.

Today, I am based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, where I worked as Chef de Partie – Pastry at a distinguished 4-star superior hotel, refining my expertise in fine pastry and dessert creation.

Before making St. Gallen my home, I spent several years in New York City, managing and working in the kitchen and restaurant of a non-profit organization. In this role, I oversaw the food and beverage operations for a wide range of events, serving between 50 and 1,500 guests. From elegant weddings and sophisticated brunch buffets to corporate functions and special celebrations, creating exceptional catering experiences became a cornerstone of my career.

Today, I have turned my favorite part of working in hospitality into my own business: creating bespoke dessert tables that transform every celebration into a memorable experience.

Each dessert table is thoughtfully designed and tailored to reflect the unique vision of my clients. From the event’s color palette and floral arrangements to the overall décor and special themes, every detail is carefully considered to create a seamless and harmonious presentation.

While every design is individually curated, my signature style remains —timeless elegance, simplicity, and an unwavering focus on aesthetics. I believe that desserts should not only taste exceptional but also become an integral part of the event’s visual story, leaving a lasting impression on every guest.

I believe that great food—and especially desserts—has the power to bring people together, create joyful moments, and elevate every occasion. A thoughtfully curated dessert table is more than a beautiful display; it becomes an unforgettable experience that contributes to the lasting success of an event.
