These
chefs are among the top in the industry, possessing impressive skills
in chocolate and sugar work. Starting at 8:00 AM on Tuesday, August
26th,
each team will have seven hours to finish their showpieces. With this
year’s theme being “Video Games,” each team will choose from
either chocolate or sugar to showcase their talents and ingenuity
while competing for the title of National Showpiece Champions.
Now
in its fourth year, the National Showpiece Championship calls for
competitors to push the boundaries of normal showpiece construction,
but without requiring huge financial and personal sacrifices from
competitors. Rather than constraining chefs with endless rules and
regulations, the National Showpiece Championship is a new form of
competition that encourages chef to compete at the highest level
possible.
