Swiss-born Hungarian Confectioner, Chocolate Producer, Industrialist and Entrepreneur. Several famous traditional Hungarian cakes were first introduced by him like the 'macskanyelv' (transl. cat tongue), the 'konyakos meggy' (transl. cognac sour cherry), the 'csokoládé drazsé' (transl. chocolate dragees) and he was the first in Hungary who sold French cakes filled with custard. The 'zserbó' cake, a well-known product of the Café Gerbeaud is named after him, although it was not available in his lifetime.
