Callebaut Christmas Pastries & Bonbons
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Callebaut’s Christmas recipe campaign featured festive creations by pastry chefs Ilias Nikola and Nikolaos Koutsoukos at Chocolate Academy.
Ilias Nikola created a ginger bonbon and a Yule log, while Nikolaos Koutsoukos presented his own Yule log and a plated dessert for hospitality. Our photography and two reels brought the four recipes together as a seasonal collection for professional pastry audiences.
Commission & Creative Direction
The visual approach gave each chef’s creations their own space within the Christmas campaign. Photography presented the finished pastries and bonbons, with attention to their shapes, textures and decorative details.
The two reels extended the collection into motion, offering a separate presentation of each chef’s work. Together, stills and video connected the individual recipes through a shared festive theme.
Outcome & Use
Created for seasonal recipe communication through the Chocolate Academy network, the photographs and reels supported the sharing of ideas and techniques with fellow professionals and new chefs. The collection also demonstrated applications of Callebaut products across bonbons, Yule logs and plated desserts.
The project forms part of our ongoing work with Callebaut across chef collaborations and pastry campaigns. Explore more of our chocolate and pastry projects.
