Japan wins 2025 World Pastry Cup

The 19th edition of the Pastry World Cup on Saturday ended with the victory of Japan. France and Malaysia completed the podium and won respectively the silver and bronze medals. The defending champions, the Japanese team achieved the double and thus retained its world championship title.

Already the winner of the Asia selection last year, Japan is increasingly asserting itself as one of the world's leading pastry countries. Indeed, new for this edition, the candidates were confronted with a spectacular test, totally unprecedented: the “Chocolate Show”. During this event, they created and designed 26 sweet creations based on Valrhona chocolate in a finger-food spirit.
