Many people would know Karl Bayer as a professional photographer living on the beautiful Mid North Coast of New South Wales at Taree. What few people know is that Karl is also a German trained pastry chef with a passion for great food that was practically instilled in him from early childhood.
His parents ran a “Konditorei-Cafe” which is a typical European coffee shop and patisserie. It was there that Karl did his apprenticeship which enabled him later on to migrate to Australia.
He spend the early 80s working in his trade at the Sydney Hilton, Wentworth Hotel and various other establishments before a career change, turning his other great passion, photography, into a profession.
It was thanks to Rudi's persistent prompting that got Karl motivated and excited to fill a perceived gap in the local Gourmet Food Market.
