#221 - Hong Kong's Pastry Chef Queen Who Is Also a Yoga Instructor

Karys Plaxe is a long time HK resident, and recently wrapped up her time as Black Sheep Restaurant Group's head pastry chef. Karys’ career before HK ranged from working in MICHELIN-starred pastry programs to overseeing top-level international bakeries where she honed her creative finesse. Apart from being the driving force behind Hong Kong's most famous cake shop, Butter, Karys has also spent the last few years cultivating her passion for yoga. She now hosts all-levels yoga classes, and is taking some time to decelerate and prepare for her next career steps. We chat with Karys about our many issues with Vission Bakery, her work at Dominique Ansel Bakery at the height of the 'cronut' hype, and her recent decision to leave Butter Cake Shop.Get tickets for Backstage Comedy shows: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thebackstagehk.com/⁠Subscribe to our Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hohopod⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a review: (please!) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ratethispodcast.com/hohohkpod⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karys Plaxe on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/karys.loves.kale⁠⁠⁠Follow Karys Plaxe's yoga page on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yogatogether.hk/Follow Mohammed on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/theothermohammed⁠⁠⁠Follow Vivek on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/funnyvivek
