The Road to Lyon
The Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie is a biennial competition that brings together the world’s finest pastry chefs to compete in disciplines such as sugar artistry, chocolate, and ice carving. The competition is not just a test of technical skill but also a celebration of creativity, teamwork, and innovation.
For Team USA, the journey begins with the United States National Selection in fall 2025, where the country’s best pastry chefs will vie for a spot on the team. The journey continues at the Americas Continental Selection in 2026, a crucial step before the team faces the world’s best in Lyon.
Supported by Koerner Company and other dedicated partners, Team USA is poised to make its mark on the global stage.
