Chef Alan Roby is the executive pastry chef of the Hyatt Hotel chain. He also owns a chocolate shop in Geneva called Chef Roby’s. He has traveled around the world and has a Master's degree in the pastry arts. In 2006, he made the world's largest chocolate sculpture. For every purchase made at his shop, money is donated to the Saving Tiny Hearts Foundation. His oldest son collapsed while playing football and it turned out to be a heart defect. Chef Roby and his wife didn’t suspect anything was wrong with him--he seemed completely healthy. Chef Roby learned that he wasn’t alone, that congenital heart defects are the number one birth defect. Chef Roby joined the foundation because it was so helpful in his time of need. He is an amazing sugar artist, and he works with chocolate as well. Currently, he is working on a life size chocolate replica of his kitchen.
