Our vision

Our mission is to show people that quantity need not come at the expense of quality. We follow the sustainable road of an honest modern confectionery, where emphasis is placed on quality, taste and design – at affordable prices.

Mission and strategy:

We bake locally and sell globally!
A modern confectionery without compromise is our way. We are very demanding as regards our raw materials and craftsmanship.

  • Our cakes are hand-made in Czechia, from local materials as much as possible.
  • Only high-quality, proper ingredients are used.
  • Genuine Belgian chocolate with high coca butter content.
  • Butter, and then more butter…
  • Only what belongs in it, nothing more.
  • Craftsmanship based on traditional baking methods.
  • A return to simplicity in both taste and design.
  • The cake was developed by people with more than a half-century of experience.
  • Decorated with golden dust.
  • Do not look for preservatives in our products…

,,Look for quality, discover our cakes with the L’Chefs seal,,

Why do we bake with

Josefem?

We spent years fine-tuning the plan to produce high-quality confectionery in our company.
Our visions are quite ambitious, so we needed to find one of the best confectioners in the country. The choice was clear, but we weren’t sure whether he’d find our project interesting in the long run.

t was at the very first meeting when we agreed that a modern confectionery, high quality traditional raw materials, and hand-made products designed down to the tiniest detail was the right way.

Josef Maršálek had won a number of prestigious awards, and he joined us enthusiastically, bringing with him a sweet bonus: contact with Zlatka Otavová, an experienced technologist and confectioner. They’ve become members of our L’Chefs team, ambassadors, guarantors of quality and taste, and joined our project of making excellent and modern cakes.

Decorated with caramel sauce, crunchy caramel candies and dates in golden dust.

An extraordinary taste experience from the Orient which simply must be repeated!

L' CHEFS TEAM MEMBER

The life of Josef Maršálek is reminiscent of a fairy tale about a poor boy who becomes famous and finds happiness. His grandmas and aunts were tripping over him in the kitchen from a tender age as he dreamed of becoming a cake maker.

He attended grammar school at Hranice na Moravě, and then taught for a year at the Elementary Art School in Potštát. After the year of teaching, he went to Prague, where he worked as a confectioner and later as a job instructor in the custom-made confectionery owned by the parents of Patrik and Kristýna Schick. He obtained an apprenticeship certificate through distance learning, and began combined study at a hotel college, with the specialization Gastronomy, Hotels and Spas.
After the first year he travelled to Great Britain, where he worked his way up fast to the position of a five-star hotel chef at Bath Spa. He continued his studies, and participated in professional competitions.

And then he ended up in London, going all the way from Buckingham Palace and the House Of Lords to Tate Modern and finally to the most luxurious of all the departments store – Harrods, which belonged to Mohammed Al-Fayed. He quickly found his bearings, and stayed there for more than seven years – at the end he was the designer of confectionery trends for Harrods, Great Britain, and in fact the whole Europe. Hundreds of celebrities and the richest people on the planet were his clients. His deserts were ordered by royal families from around the world.

He continued to travel and grow professionally. He got his Ing degree, and set out for India to gather strength and prepare for what life had in store for him back in beautiful Prague. He did everything, from floor sweeping to coffee making, to the establishment and abandonment of Fat Brothers company, as well as being a juror on the best TV baking show ,,Peče celá Země“ (The Czech version of The Great British Bake off).
He lives in Southern Bohemia with his partner.

In his first book he tells the world his story, shares his experience, and inspires “lost souls” who are at a crossroads in life and do not know where to go. He has published books on confectionery that have become best-sellers:

  • Péct, milovat a žít (2019 “To bake, to love and to live”)
  • Moje sváteční pečení (2020 “My festive baking”)
  • Moderní česká cukrařina (2020 “Modern Czech confectionery”)
