Florian Bellanger is a renowned<br />
pastry chef known for his role as a<br />
permanent judge on the Food<br />
Network’s Cupcake Wars. Bellanger<br />
has also been a judge on Celebrity<br />
Cupcake Wars and Cupcake Wars: Kids.<br />
Bellanger’s love for food manifested<br />
itself at an early age, so he knew that<br />
his career would take a culinary path.<br />
As a child, Bellanger spent his free time<br />
baking in the kitchen for his family.<br />
Although a childhood allergy to<br />
chocolate ironically prevented him<br />
from relishing such treats for nearly 6<br />
years, he outgrew it and passionately<br />
dedicated himself to the art of pastries<br />
even more. He was formerly the executive pastry chef at the<br />
world-famous Parisian pastry and candy shop, Fauchon.<br />
Bellanger is currently the chef and wonder of Mad Mac<br />
Macarons, an acclaimed French cookie and pastry company<br />
in NYC. When asked to share his thoughts about the John<br />
Grieco Scholarship Fund, Bellanger responded with ,”I think<br />
it is important to give students a chance to do what they like<br />
best - it motivates them and gives them the opportunity to<br />
discover new talents.” Forian Bellanger has been an audition<br />
and contest judge for Englewood <strong>Idol</strong> for many years and is<br />
our longest-running judge on the show. He is our Senior<br />
Judge for this year’s Englewood <strong>Idol</strong> and we are honored to<br />
have him back for another year of Englewood <strong>Idol</strong>!
