There will also be a competition for the best ‘Croque-en-bouche’ – the traditional French wedding pastry usually served in the form of a tower of chocolate, cream-filled profiteroles bound together with threads of caramel. The master pastry chefs competing will be showing off their skills and decorating their entries with sugared almonds, chocolate, flowers, ribbons, macaroons and caramel right in front of you.
There will also be lots of opportunities for those of you with a sweet tooth to try all the different goodies on offer too so don’t miss out – make sure you put the Salon du Sucre et du Chocolat in your diary and head on over to Antibes to try out some of those delicious sugar creations!
