This biannual event features teams representing 20 countries in what becomes an exhausting 10-hour competition where the world’s best chefs showcase their artistic skills in pastry, chocolate, sugar and ice cream creations. It is considered the greatest worldwide competition of this type, as few contests require the teamwork essential for victory in this event.
