Ever since Chef Pike Yang first watched Cooking Master Boy in elementary school, a "chef's spirit" has lived within him. With the support and encouragement of his parents and university professors, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining his skills throughout his studies. In an international selection competition, he consistently ranked first from the preliminary rounds, advancing all the way to the finals. Over a grueling five-day final round, he emerged as the champion in the Bread-Making category at the 38th National Skills Competition, competing among nearly 100 contestants nationwide. He also went on to win the Gold Medal in the national selection for the 40th International Skills Competition.
Chef Yang opened two Brave Artisan Bakery locations in his hometown of Guanmiao and at the Changrong branch in Tainan, both of which have been warmly received by local residents. In 2017, he also published a book titled "Not just Baking, Happiness Bread", sharing his expertise and passion for artisanal bread.
In 2024, Chef Yang participated in the Taiwan Qualifiers for the Panettone World Championship. To ensure market appeal, this competition organizers invited a wide panel of everyday consumers to serve as public judges before the final round. On the day of the finals, the judges assessed the Panettone from multiple perspectives, including flavor, taste, and presentation, to identify those that were professional, delicious, and highly popular. With repeated tasting and careful observation, each entry strove to shine in front of the public jury. After nearly an hour of judging, Chef Maurizio Bonanomi, the champion of the 2023 World Christmas Bread Cup, personally announced the winners and presented the awards. The Popularity Award went to chef Pike Yang, head chef of Brave Artisan Bakery.
