On July 25, 2026, the city will once again host the Pastry World Cup continental selections at the Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center, at the heart of the Louisiana Restaurant Association (LRA) Showcase.
The finest pastry talents from across the Americas will compete in an exceptional atmosphere, surrounded by chefs, restaurateurs, suppliers, and 150 exhibitors. A unique moment to celebrate the creativity, innovation, and precision that define the art of pastry.
Organized alongside the LRA Showcase, which is expecting more than 6,000 professional visitors, the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie Americas selection reaffirms its central role within a dynamic ecosystem that fosters exchange, inspiration, and knowledge sharing.
Once again, New Orleans will be the stage for a sweet effervescence where the future of pastry is being shaped!
On the banks of the Mississippi River, New Orleans is renowned for its jazz, its carnival, but also for its gastronomy with its many influences (French, Spanish and African), reflecting its history and culture. Among the emblematic pastries of this destination, beignets served warm at all hours are a must, as are Pralines made with sugar, butter and pecans, or the traditional Mardi Gras "King Cake".
The best pastry chefs and cooks from all over the U.S. will be showcased during an event that will bring together the two continental selections of the biggest international culinary and pastry competitions, as the Americas selection of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie will be followed by that of the Bocuse d'Or Americas. Ewald Notter was the Honorary President for this selection.
