Paving the Way for Chinese Pastry Chefs

From January 24 to 25, 2025, Team China participated and competed at the 2025 World Pastry Cup in Lyon, France. Team China was led by captain Glen QIAN and included Sheng WANG and Tongtong SUN, champions of the 2023 China Pastry Cup. Ice candidate Thomas LI was also part of the four-person strong team.

With their combined experience, skills and creativity, Team China achieved a momentous milestone by securing fourth place. This remarkable achievement represents both a high regard for Chinese pastry craftsmanship and the emergence of China’s dessert culture on the global stage. During the competition, Team China successfully showcased the unique charm of Chinese pastry art to the world through the deep integration of Dunhuang culture and clever creative designs.

In China, the Executive Committee of the China Pastry Cup (CPC) and China Association of Bakery and Confectionery Industry (CABCI) have been adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, and have successfully held four China Pastry Cup (CPC) since 2017. The China Pastry Cup has steadily evolved into a leading competition in the Chinese pastry industry, gathering outstanding pastry chefs from across China to compete and showcase their exquisite skills in dessert making.

To better select and cultivate internationally competitive pastry chefs, the CPC has established rigorous selection mechanisms and comprehensive evaluation criteria. The selection process of the competition consists of two stages: preliminary rounds and finals. These entries are evaluated by the Technical Advisory Board and Jury Panel, which selects finalists to compete in the finals.

The 2025 finals will be held in Shanghai from May 19 to May 21, 2025, where two individual champions will be selected from the 11 finalists and awarded the opportunity to represent China in the 2026 APC. The Executive Committee of the China Pastry Cup will continue to provide broader platforms for Chinese pastry contestants to showcase their talent, while also actively promoting international exchange and the development of Chinese pastry culture.
