THE 26th ANNUAL U.S. PASTRY COMPETITION
The countdown is here to the 26th Annual U.S. Pastry Competition (March 8, 2015).
The 26th Annual U.S. Pastry Competition will take place on March 8 at the International Foodservice Show of New York (Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City). The awards ceremony will take place at 4:00 pm at the pastry competition arena and showpieces will remain on view throughout the duration of the event.
It is the most prestigious pastry competition where pastry chefs compete for the title of Pastry Chef of the Year. The event allows leading pastry chefs to showcase their talents by creating advanced dessert and chocolate bonbon recipes exhibited along with highly technical sugar and chocolate sculpted showpieces. The theme of this year is Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend. Lady Luxuries.
Pastry chefs must submit an original recipe using Cacao Noel Chocolate and Ravifruit fruit puree; a chocolate bonbon recipe; and a recipe for a plated dessert. Each participating chef will also submit a chocolate showpiece which relates to the theme and will be judged on the use of chocolate/sugar, visual appeal, inventiveness in artistic presentation and flavour combination but also texture, technique, and successful theme execution. Board members of the Societe Culinaire Philanthropique will preside over the judging procedures. Contest awards will total over $10,000.00.
