Damien Wager is a self-taught pastry chef, who over the past few years has risen to the top of the U.K. Pastry Chef rankings due to his numerous exploits & achievements. He is now the owner of Pastry Academy UK, formerly Edible Art Patisserie.  

Damien's social media following has no doubt had a positive effect and been a driving factor in his success. Numerous articles and features in top magazines such as ‘Chef’, ‘Olive’ & ‘House of Coco’, as well as being nominated for 'Young Chef of the Year' at the 2018 Restaurant Awards, and again in 2024, in categories brimming with talent, have certainly propelled him onto the radars of many chefs and critics.

After releasing his first book, ‘Edible Art’ in 2019, Damien went on to release two further publications - ‘Breaking the Mould’ & ‘Cocoa’, all three of which have sold worldwide. 

Damien opened his first flagship patisserie under the Edible Art banner in Cheltenham - with his second shop swiftly following, situated in the city of Bath, which opened on September 18th 2021. He later agreed a deal with the internationally known brand ‘Harvey Nichols’ that led to the opening of concessions across regional stores. In autumn 2024, Edible Art Patisserie Limited, closed as Damien transitioned to his next project, Pastry Academy UK, based in Cheltenham.

Damien travels around the world showcasing his talent, with masterclasses far and wide. He loves to travel and return home with new flavours and ideas he can transform into signature patisserie items, and share with his fans.
