Former Rockpool pastry chefs spread their wings

Former members of Rockpool's pastry section look set to populate Sydney in numbers not seen since the Banc boys spread their wings in the early noughties.

The news that former Rockpool group executive pastry chef Catherine Adams will join several of her Rockpool alumni to open Cipro Pizza al Taglio in Alexandria (Good Food, 5/2/2013) is just the latest move from sweet-toothed Rockpoolers.

Pastry chef Lorraine Godsmark, co-creator of Rockpool's famed date tart, has opened Lorraine's Patisserie in Palings Lane. Another former Rockpool head pastry chef, Riccardo Falcone, has joined Arras, the Clarence Street restaurant with Sydney's most decadent petit four.
