One of Sydney’s leading pastry chefs, Brenda Dewar has just opened his first self-titled patisserie at St Ives Shopping Village on Sydney’s north shore.
Having trained with Pierre Hermes in Paris and with extensive experience working at some of Sydney’s finest institutions including the Shangri La Hotel, Rockpool and Lindt Chocolate, Dewar has built a reputation for creating the finest quality goods, full of colour and flavour.
“I am looking forward to welcoming and spoiling dessert and pastry lovers by creating a culinary experience that draws people in from all over,” says Dewar.
Brendan uses fresh seasonal produce to create unique pastries, chocolates, macaroons, tarts, cakes and biscuits, each displayed like individual works of art. Having once trained Adriano Zumbo, he likes to take something traditional giving it a modern twist to create something that is tempting both visually and in its flavours.
“We are thrilled to have Brendan join our market room retailers. It’s very exciting to be the venue for his first store and it is a perfect fit with our aim to give the community choice in the highest quality and variety of take-home treats for all occasions,” says Sue McKindlay, Marketing Manager of St Ives Shopping Village.
When asked what people should look forward to most, Brendan responded “I can’t seem to make enough of my triple chocolate cake. I believe it is in such high demand due to the quality of ingredients used, it just melts in your mouth.”

Dewar has an enviable reputation having been the great sweet tempter at Bacco Pasticceria in Chifley Plaza and Bligh Street.

Dewar and his team create artfully-constructed, colourful creations, intricate small cakes like little sculptures in display cases. Popular sellers in the mornings include croissants, pain au chocolats, palmiers and brioches. Dewar and his creative team of chefs constantly invent new twists on classic ideas.
