The 2023 competition is open to practicing formal bakers and pastry chefs from Africa
The AFMASS Baking Championship is a new initiative by the organisers of the AFMASS Food Expo that is mainly focused on promoting excellence in the bakery industry in Africa.
The Championship’s main goal is the advancement of the baking and baking profession in Africa and to create vibe and celebration at this pan-African Expo.
In the first edition, the Championship will focus on the cake making and decoration – where creativity, science and art converge, thereby enabling attendees to experience the wonderful are of baking.
The competitors will be judged by a Panel of Judges with vast experience in the field of pastry, cake making and baking, with each entry evaluated on originality and creativity in the use of ingredients, decoration and the use of technical skills. They will also be judged on cleanliness and overall presentation of the final cake.
Practising pastry chefs and cake makers are encouraged to sign up to participate at the Championship, which enables each of them to present to a regional and international audience and a judging panel with a chance to win and grab the headlines in Africa and across the World.
