Sébastien Mullebrouck is the head baker and pastry chef at The French Kitchen 4 in 1 Culinary Center, 4771 N. Academy Blvd. He honed his baking skills as an apprentice at Boulangerie Duford and eventually became a pastry chef apprentice at Patisserie Dagand, both near his home in Valence, France. In 1999, he moved to Colorado Springs and worked as a baker at Marigold’s Café and Bakery for 15 years off and on. He also did stints at La Baguette in Old Colorado City and Wimberger’s Old World Bakery and Deli.
When Blandine Mazéran, owner of The French Kitchen, started planning to open her business, she hired Mullebrouck. He became instrumental in the design and buildout of the bakery and pastry kitchen. They opened the center in June 2017.
