巧克力蛋糕：茴香巧克力慕斯。
个人诠释：此慕斯氛围独特，慕斯口感丰富细腻。选用《茴香》为名称，是因使用多种香料，入口留香，让人久久不能忘怀。
糖艺展品：“奇迹-飞仙”。作品灵感来源于敦煌壁画元素，具有中国文化特色的飞天。

Self-interpretation: this mousse has a unique flavor. It features a rich and delicate taste that hints at eternity through the use of variety of spices that leave a lingering and unforgettable fragrance in the mouth.

盘式甜品：米饭布丁
个人诠释：大米做为主味，再配上传统桂花酱来增加淡淡香味。同时使用酸甜的热情果鱼子酱和巧克力壳还有柠檬酱来中和整体的甜味。最后加入了油炸大米，不仅能丰富口感也能让耳朵品尝到声音，简单有趣又美味。
巧克力展品：茶韵。用中国茶文化的元素和多姿多彩的自然元素来“彩”出中国风。
Plated dessert: Rice pudding.
Self-interpretation: focus on a main flavor of rice, the most common staple of Chinese cuisine, and add light notes of traditional osmanthus sauce. Use both sour and sweet warm caviar and chocolate crusts and lemon sauce to neutralise the overall sweetness. Finally, add deep fried rice, which not only enriches the taste but also adds a wonderful crunch that’s a delight for the ears. Simple, fun and tasty.
Chocolate showpiece: “Tea Rhymes” use the elements of Chinese tea culture and colorful natural elements to enliven the traditional Chinese culture.
展望亚洲杯和世界杯 About APC & ＷPC
“西点世界杯”可谓是当今规格最高、分量最足的甜品比赛之一。1989年，西点大师Gabriel Paillasson在里昂创立了“西点世界杯“。中国队从1997年开始参加这个每两年举办一次的甜点盛会，到如今已有24年。
除少数几个拥有直接晋级卡的西点强国外，所有队伍均需先经过国家选拔赛，再经历洲际西点杯，从而进入世界杯。中国甜品锦标赛创始性地为中国的西点师们提供了一个公平竞技的平台，赢取进入“西点亚洲杯”的资格。
受西点世界杯创始人Gabriel Paillasson先生邀请，甜品锦标赛执行委员会和中国焙烤食品糖制品工业协会自2017年起已主办了两届中国甜品锦标赛。秉承公平公正的原则，中国甜品锦标赛汇聚了国内卓越专业西点人士，致力于提高中国甜品行业的标准和技艺，增进中国甜品行业的职业技能交流。本届CPC更是以比拼单项优胜的赛制拓宽了选拔范围，由单项冠军组成更强实力的中国国家队参加西点亚洲杯，期待助力中国队走向国际舞台，与20余支汇聚各国顶尖西点师的队伍一起前往法国里昂角逐桂冠。
Founded in 1989 by the pastry chef Gabriel Paillasson in Lyon, France, the World Pastry Cup (WPC) is one of the world‘s most authoritative and selective dessert competitions. The Chinese team has competed in the biennial event since 1997, marking 24 years.
Except for a few countries which directly qualify, all teams must complete national trials and continental cups before proceeding to the world cup. The CPC provides an innovative platform for fair competition, helping Chinese pastry chefs to qualify for the World Pastry Cup.
Upon invitation by Mr. Paillasson, the Executive Committee of the China Pastry Cup and the CABCI have hosted two CPC events since 2017. Under the principles of fairness and impartiality, the CPC brings together outstanding Chinese chefs to improve the standards and the level of craftsmanship of Chinese pastries, helping the chefs hone their skills. This year’s CPC adopted stricter selection criteria for individual champions. These individual champions form teams, which will help China to send a stronger national team to the World Pastry Cup. The new Chinese team aims to eventually go on to Lyon to compete on the world stage with over 20 teams, bringing together champions from all over the world.
