The Golden Ratio of Taste
At Fractal Frosting, we believe the universe's most elegant patterns deserve to be celebrated. From the Fibonacci sequence in a spiral galaxy to the fractal veins of a leaf, we find inspiration in the beautiful logic that underpins nature. Our founder, Fiona Rutherford, a mathematician turned pastry chef, translates these concepts into edible art. Each creation is a dialogue between precision and passion, a delicious exploration of symmetry, geometry, and flavor, crafted right here in Wellington. We don't just bake; we engineer edible marvels.
