2018 Edition
2018 Edition of the Relais Desserts Charles Proust Competition
A gateway to the highly desirable MOF (Best Worker of France) distinction, the Relais Desserts Charles Proust competition took place at the Chocolate Trade Show in Paris on Wednesday, October 31st; 11 young pastry workers were competing in this 2018 edition.
Once more, each candidate in the running at this illustrious contest—re-launched in 2006 by the Relais Desserts Association—tried to show more imagination, more creativity and technique than the other to create pieces as beautiful as gourmet.
