Ewald Notter is widely regarded as one of the foremost exponents of confectionery arts, having introduced many firsts that have helped mold the craft and advance the industry, primarily the mastery of sugar and chocolate decoration. His influence on modern day confectionery arts spans several decades. At the age of 27, he set up his first school dedicated to the art of sugar in Zurich, Switzerland, followed by schools in Gaithersburg, MD and Orlando, FL. He has conducted classes and demonstrations extensively in North and South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Ewald has starred in four videos on Sugar & Chocolate Decoration for the Culinary Institute of America and has published 4 books, which have become classic references in English & German. Aside from his numerous individual accolades, he was also part of the 1999 & 2000 US National Champion Teams and the only gold medal-winning US Team at the 2001 Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie in Lyon, France, scoring the highest ever recorded number of points for sugar. He was the first professional inducted to the Pastry Art and Design Hall of Fame.
