Founded in 2006 by Valrhona and Ravifruit in partnership with Singapore Exhibition Services and the Singapore Pastry Alliance, the Asian Pastry Cup is held in conjunction with Food&HotelAsia. It is a competition within itself but also serves as the official competition at which four Asian teams are pre-selected to compete at the World Pastry Cup 2011 in Lyon, France.

The Asian Pastry Cup (APC) has quickly made its mark on the Asian pastry scene after two well received biennial editions and has become a major platform for pastry professionals. This unique live competition pits pastry chefs against one another, culminating in a display of the most delightful and beautiful pastry creations. For the first time, the competition will include up to 12 team.

 

The Asian Pastry Cup aims to:

-       Ignite creativity in and interest for this culinary art

-       Elevate the status of the pastry industry in Asia

-       Provide a platform for communication and learning among pastry chef enthusiasts around the region

-       Create opportunities for pastry chefs to surpass themselves in the pastry world

 

The next instalment of the Asian Pastry Cup will be held in April 2010 in conjunction with Food&Hotel Asia (FHA) 2010. The competition will now take place at the heart of this renowned food exhibition. Through this competitive approach, the Asian Pastry Cup will appeal to the trade and provide a meeting place where professionals can exchange new ideas for enhancing the fine art of creative pastry.

 

The significant improvement in the quality and presentation of pastry creations submitted for competition over the past two editions of the Asian Pastry Cup shows how it has increasingly become a valued platform for pastry professionals. It will encourage young pastry chefs to achieve greater heights and inspire new talent to join the fascinating world of pastry craftsmanship.
