Back at the end of August, I did a blog on Savour Chocolate & Patisserie School & mentioned the World Chocolate Masters competition being held from October 28-30th. I just wanted to give you an update on the competition as I had also mentioned that Australia was being represented by a young man named Deniz Karaca who is executive pastry chef for the Epicure Group in Melbourne. I'm thrilled to share with you the result that Deniz came third. Yes, that's third, as in third IN THE WORLD! An absolutely amazing achievement considering he competed against European countries that are at the forefront of pastry & chocolate. And he was awarded first in the small globe showpiece category. I'm sure it is a testament to his dedication & just reward for numerous hours of training. I have pictures of Deniz's pieces that he produced during the competition.

Incredible, eh? And Deniz was only one of nineteen competitors. All extremely talented & at the top of their game in their respective countries.
