The theme of the 5th edition of the pastry competition
For this 5th edition, the theme is:
“A tribute to creativity: the art of pastry in all its forms.”
You will need to demonstrate originality by creating 3 unique recipes:
- A boutique entremets recipe
- An individual dessert The Paris-Biars is inspired by the classic French dessert, the Paris-Brest.
- A mocktail
Note: Originality and creativity are essential. They allow candidates to stand out and showcase their unique talent. However, it is crucial to find a balance between innovation and flavor harmony. Too many different tastes can compete and create a confusing experience.
