Every great patisserie is anchored by the passion and skill of its head chef. The unique flavor profiles and architectural designs you see at Dhi Ferrari Cakes are the result of a lifelong dedication to the culinary arts by our founder, Chef Dhi Ferrari.

Born in Brazil, Dhi trained extensively in both French and Italian classical pastry techniques. His talent quickly propelled him to the top of the industry, where he was recognized as one of the top three pastry chefs in Rio de Janeiro, eventually running his own culinary school. Seeking a new lifestyle, he brought his 17 years of experience to New Zealand.

Today, every Dhi Ferrari item is a testament to this global journey. By fusing the precision of French technique (like mastering the perfect choux pastry) with the vibrant, soulful flavors of Brazilian heritage (such as rich dulce de leche and brigadeiro elements), Dhi has created a boutique dessert destination unlike any other in Christchurch.
