Belgium in the World Cup!

After two days of competition, the Belgian team, comprising Raoul Andriessen, Marijn Coertjens and Djordy Van Kemseke, was awarded the precious sesame by the jury and the event's honorary president, Stéphane Leroux, M.O.F. pâtissier.

5h30 to create an artistic piece of chocolate and sugar, 8 plated desserts, 3 revisited Paris-Brest and 3 iced cakes, on the theme of Belgian autumn desserts: this was the challenge taken up by the Pastry Lions, who thus enter the circle of 20 finalist teams in this prestigious world competition.

Congratulations to the Lions and good luck for the future!
