The family that started it all.
The Fold is the culmination of two generations of love for the culinary world, from the culinary expertise and experience of the father, Augustus to the artistic pastry creations of Travin & Jason, both of whom despite the young age, have an artistic eye that would take many years to develop. And not to forget the secret to this recipe, the person who keeps it all together, the momager Dilki.
