Pierre Hermé Appointed President of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie

The Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie Club has appointed Pierre Hermé as the new president of the renowned contest. 

Pierre Hermé started out in the trade by working with Gaston Lenôtre before imposing his unique vision and its creations, including subtle associations such as rose and litchi that he uses for his Ispahan raspberry dessert. He also revolutionized traditions and in the early 2000s he became a reference for the pastry industry worldwide. It is both for his genius pastry talent and international standing that Pierre Hermé has been chosen to officiate as president of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie. 

This competition has revealed over the past 30 years the best young talents such as Christophe Michalak, Angelo Musa, Quentin Bailly or more recently Etienne Leroy, Pierre Marcolini, all winners of the World Cup. His commitment to the pastry trade will help to reveal the talents of tomorrow. 

The next step of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie contest is the European selection, taking place January 12-13, 2020, during the Europain trade fair in Paris.
