For changing the face of Jakarta’s patisserie scene

Baking has been Karen Carlotta’s passion since she was young, so it was no surprise when she decided to turn it into a career. She founded Union Brasserie, Bakery and Bar, which ranked 33 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars list in 2021—and also the best bar in Indonesia. A former guest judge on Masterchef Indonesia, she also runs the pastry department of AMKC Private Dining and has created a private dining experience for Barack Obama.
