Personal life
Pascale was born to Western Indian parents (Caribbean) in Hackney at The Mothers' Hospital and was nurtured as soon as he was born. She was adopted at the age of 18 months and raised in Oxfordshire by a white family. When his adoptive parents divorced when he was three years old, Pascale lived with his mother, who later became ill. At this point, at the age of seven, he was nurtured into more than one family, with varying degrees of 'suitability'. Finally he returned to his mother. He won a full scholarship awarded by the Buttle Trust and was so educated at a boarding school in Devon.
Pascale has an older foster brother and step sister (his adoptive father has a daughter after the divorce). He knows the identities of his biological parents and their other four children, but he does not want to re-establish relationships.
Pascale married Polish musician, Count Kaz Balinski-Jundzill and the couple had a daughter. The couple split up in 2000 and then divorced.

Careers
At the age of 16, Pascale was found as a potential model by an agent who had discovered Naomi Campbell. Based in New York, he gained recognition as the first black English model to appear on the cover of American Elle. She appeared in the 1998 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, and was featured as one of the "Bond Girls" in Robbie Williams's "Millennium" video.
Pascale recognizes the need to ensure his future after modeling and initiate a series of career "trials", including hypnotherapy and car mechanics. He took a diploma cooking course at Leith's School of Food and Wine in 2005 and found that his cooking fit him "like old jeans". After obtaining a diploma, he undertook a series of 'stages' at several restaurants in London but, realizing that the restaurant hours would not suit him, Pascale proved himself a cakemaker, on a contract with Selfridges. His introduction to Selfridges was on the advice of chef Marco Pierre White and in 2008 and 2010 he supplied London stores with over 1000 Christmas cakes. Pascale has opened its own cupcake shop in Covent Garden. He also studied Culinary Arts at Thames Valley University (now University of West London) and in March 2012 graduated with a first class degree.
In 2015 Pascale says he practices Transcendental Meditation to relax after work.
