Since opening Aux Petits Delices in 1987, Chef Patrick Gauthron has distinguished himself as the premier pastry chef and chocolatier in the Delaware Valley.

His journey began in the Burgundy region of France, when at age 14 he left home to do his apprenticeship at Pâtisserie Bouchè in Beaune. The pâtissier mastered his craft in various regions of France, including the renowned Casino De Divonne les Baines near Geneva, before coming to America in 1979 to serve as Pastry Chef for Georges Perrier at Le Bec-Fin in Philadelphia.

For six years, under the careful eye of Georges Perrier, Patrick earned what he called his doctorate in fine dining. In the process, he earned the respect of his mentor and seduced Philadelphians with his unparalleled confections.
