THE FINEST QUALITY HANDCRAFTED CHOCOLATE

"Trained in Belgium to key learnings in Australia, Lakker Chocolatiers creates Modern Australian Confections with the finest sourced cacao and produce. Crafted with tradition, passion, love, and creativity, we aim to make a little dose of magic in every bite."

From Cocoa Farms to Tasmania

Knowing where our cocoa comes from matters.

Our chocolate journey begins with carefully selected cocoa and the farmers and communities who grow it. Through our support of the CocoaTrace program, we are helping improve traceability and recognise the people behind the cocoa we use.

The People Behind Lakker
Dimitri and Jae Smet

The
Chocolatiers

Dimitri Smet, Pastry Chef and Chocolatier, grew up in the “land of chocolate”, Belgium. After graduating with a Master’s in Fine Patisserie and Chocolate Artistry, he pursued his passion through some of Belgium’s most esteemed Flemish pastry houses. His curiosity and love for adventure eventually brought him to Australia, where he has led several renowned and successful businesses.

His wife, Jae, a skilled pastry chef, brings her own creativity and expertise to Lakker. Her talent and dedication have earned her numerous awards and recognition within the pastry industry.

Together, their shared passion for chocolate, pastry and craftsmanship became the foundation of Lakker Chocolatiers.
