Chocolate Master Competition

This May will see Australia’s best chocolatiers and pastry chefs busy at work creating amazing things at the Food Service Expo in Sydney. They will be competing for an envied and cherished spot in the World Chocolate Masters competition, which will be held at the 2012 Expo.

The competition is the Australian Qualifier for this premier culinary event, dedicated to only chocolate and the art created from it. It is an initiative by Cacao Barry and Callebaut Chocolate.

The pieces created must be completely chocolate and the next Masters Competition will be held in Paris in 2013. Australia did well in 2011 with Seung Yun Lee gaining fourth spot in a year that had an Aztec theme.

The Expo will, for the first time, give people attending it to the opportunity to see this amazing competition and the beautiful creations as they are being made. It happens on 27 May 2012.

There will be six finalists competing at the Expo for the right to represent Australia in Paris and the chance to win $100,000 and wear the coveted title of World Chocolate Master.
