Has anyone heard any news about The Coupe Du Monde De La Boulangarie? I know competion was to start on March 30 and I thought it ended today. I know one of the bakers, Solvieg Tofte and wish her and the team well.

France takes 1st

The results were just posted on another website. Apparently, they changed the rules this year with judges only coming from non-competing countries. Judges were from Hungary, Ireland, Canada, Blegium, Vietnam, Chile and Korea.

1st - France

2nd - Taiwan

3rd - Italy

Comments by Hamelman, et al.

Looking for something else, I serendipitously found an acount by Jeff Hamelman of Team America's experience in Paris this year. It's interesting, and some ot the photos of breads are astonishing.

Since you brought it up

You can see the results and Team USA photos on http://www.bbga.org on the Baking Team USA. You do not need to be a member to access the results and the photos.

When you see the scores, you will realize how little stands between the podium and not... It was a contest well fought by Team USA.
