The Asian Pastry Cup (APC) is an international pastry competition taking place every two years in Singapore. It is the official selective platform for the Asian teams who will go and compete at the World Pastry Cup in Lyon, France.
Founded in 2006 in partnership with UBM Singapore, Valrhona, and the support of Singapore Pastry Alliance, the Asian Pastry Cup has reached high awareness and has portrayed itself as a large Asian Live Pastry competition for pastry professionals. This live competition pits national teams of pastry chefs against one another, culminating in a display of chocolate and sugar showpieces as well as pastry creations (examples include plated desserts and chocolate cakes).
It is held in Singapore every two years in conjunction with FHA âÂÂFood & Hotel AsiaâÂÂ, a renowned trade show within the food and hospitality industry in Asia, gathering about 4,000 international exhibitors and 78,000 trade attendees coming from 100 countries.
