CHEF JUJHAR SINGH MANN

Pastry Chef | TV Personality | Entrepreneur | 3× Culinary TV Champion

Chef Jujhar Mann is an award-winning pastry chef, entrepreneur and television personality known for pushing the boundaries of cake and pastry through bold creativity, technical precision and flavour. With multiple championship titles across Netflix and Food Network, Jujhar has built a reputation for hyper-realistic cakes, large-scale edible showpieces and desserts that taste as incredible as they look. His culinary style brings together advanced French pastry techniques, contemporary North American desserts and the South Asian flavours he grew up with, resulting in work that is creative, unexpected and distinctly his own.

As Founder and Creative Director of Mann & Co. Bakeshop in Surrey, British Columbia, Jujhar has transformed a home-based business he started at 19 into an established storefront and online bakery. Today, he leads the brand's creative direction, developing new flavours, products and designs while mentoring the next generation of bakers and decorators.

On screen, Jujhar pairs serious pastry knowledge with curiosity, humour and an approachable personality. Whether competing under pressure, breaking down a technique, tasting something new or sharing the story behind a creation, he brings the same philosophy to everything he does: food should be creative, memorable and, above all, delicious.

    Professional Pastry Training & Education

    Jujhar’s pastry craft is grounded in formal training from globally recognized institutions:
  • The Pastry Academy by Amaury Guichon - Las Vegas, USA- Advanced training in entremets, chocolate work, plated desserts, sugar artistry and large-scale pastry showpieces.
  • École Bellouet Conseil - Paris, France- Professional training in modern French pastry, entremets, contemporary finishing and decorative techniques.
  • Bachelor of Business Administration - Simon Fraser University- A business and marketing foundation that has supported Jujhar's approach to entrepreneurship, brand development and the growth of Mann & Co. Bakeshop.

    • Culture & Impact

    Jujhar's approach to pastry is deeply influenced by his South Asian heritage. Flavours such as cardamom, chai, pistachio, mango, saffron and other ingredients familiar from his upbringing regularly find their way into his contemporary pastry work. Growing up, he rarely saw people who looked like him represented in professional pastry or mainstream culinary television. Today, his career allows him to be part of changing that. Through television, entrepreneurship and pastry, Jujhar hopes to encourage young creatives, particularly those from communities historically underrepresented in the culinary industry, to pursue ambitious careers, embrace their point of view and create space for themselves.
