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.
