worldwide to hone their craft and skills while pushing the
boundaries of innovation. Since 2018, the competition has been
paired with the "Angel Yeast Cup" National Creative Bread-Making
Competition for Youth Bakers in China. This partnership has provided a
valuable platform for young Chinese bakers to showcase their
exceptional talents internationally.
During preparation, the Chinese team, supported by Angel,
undertook a two-week training camp. All teams had to produce 140
products in 13 different shapes plus a showpiece. A crucial element
was Liao Jinzhong's meticulous guidance. He focused on refining the
production process. Thanks to the support from Angel's European
Division, the Chinese team secured suitable training
facilities in Iceland. For their
showpiece entry, themed "Art of My Country," contestant Tian
Ninghan captured the essence of Chinese folk art with an intricate
depiction of the legendary Chinese folklore character "Sun
Wukong" (the Monkey King). This exceptional presentation garnered
unanimous acclaim from the jury, earning the team the prestigious
"Best Baked Showpiece Award."
