Chris Hanmer Biography

Chris Hanmer has made a steady progression from peeling potatoes at a country club at the age of 15 to claiming a gold medal as the youngest-ever American chef to win a World Pastry Team Championship. In 2006, he became the executive pastry chef for the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas and in 2010, opened The School of Pastry Design.

Most recently, he took home the winning title on Bravo's Top Chef Just Desserts. Chef Hanmer is living out his lifelong dream at The School of Pastry Design. He is a natural teacher and has a devoted following of Las Vegas locals and enthusiastic Top Chef viewers. His spectacular sugar sculptures and chocolate showpieces have graced the pages of major global food magazines and frequently appear on the Food Network. When he's not creating exquisite, edible works of art, Hanmer may be found at home, cooking dinner with his wife and young daughter.

Chris has worked for some of the best Pastry Chefs in the world. Over the course of his career, hes worked at the prestigious Bellagio Hotel and multiple Ritz-Carlton hotels. In 2004, Chris became the youngest American to win the title of World Pastry Champion. In 2010, he continued to push the limits of the pastry world by opening The School of Pastry Design because, as he puts it, I have a passion for helping people reach their goals. Chris favorite thing to make is his very own chocolate chip cookie recipe. If he could have one last meal with anyone, it would be with his wife, Caryn, and he would make almond cake, caramelized bananas, vanilla cremeux and passion fruit sorbet.
