Twenty-eight cake makers from hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and companies in HCM City attended the regional qualifying round of the Bakery World Cup. This is the first time Vietnam has joined this competition.

The breads in the shape of Vietnamese earthen pots won the third prize for traditional bread.

 

 

The competition was held at Sesame School, Binh Thanh district on August 25. From 2pm, contestants made presentations about their products, which had been made at home, and answered questions of the judging panels. Products they introduced to judges include breads, cakes and artistic cakes. The judging panel, which comprised leading experts, chose six best cake makers for the national qualifier round.

 

The competition lasted until 7pm, drawing many visitors.

 

According to The Bakery World Cup organizers, they were impressed by Vietnamese cake makers for their skills and creativeness. They decided to select one more cake maker for the national finale, instead of six as the competition rule.

 

Products for the artistic cake competition were in the shape of famous architectural works in Vietnam and the world, which released messages about a green globe.

 

The seven cake makers who passed this round are: Vo Thanh Tuan, Diep Minh Cong from Big C supermarket, Thang from La Bourlangerie d’Hue bakery, Nguyen Truong Kim Phuong and Huynh Xuan Vinh from ABC Bakery, Le Hong giang from Intercontinental Hotel and Nguyen Van Hung from Caravelle Hotel.

 

Later this week, the northern qualifying round will take place in Hanoi with 30 contestants. The winners of this contest and seven winners from HCM City will join the national round in December. The winners will go to Guangzhou, China for the Asian qualifier round in May 2011.

 

The third Bakery World Cup finals will be held in France in 2012. The winner will be presented with Louis Lesaffre Cup.

 

According to the organizing board, the Bakery World Cup’s three rounds totaling over 1000 days will attract around 6000 top cake makers from 40 countries.
