History of the contest

Created in 1992 by Christian Vabret, MOF, this contest of excellence is held every 4 years and aims to promote the bakery trade as well as quality bread throughout the world. In just a few decades it has become a major event that encourages professionals from all over the world to come and pit their skills against their peers from other nations.

Since its creation, the contest has welcomed a growing number of countries. It has increased the level of the tests and also created new ones. The Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie is a major event in the bakery industry worldwide, it mobilises professional associations, prestigious partners but also many supporters clubs.

Its success meant it became necessary to hold continental selection events in which the best teams in the world would compete. In 2003, the Coupe Louis Lesaffre was created for this purpose. To date, Lesaffre is in charge of all the selection rounds for the Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie.

The Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie would not have come into existence without the support of its founders, the French ‘Confédération Nationale de la Boulangerie et Pâtisserie’, Europain & Intersuc trade show, EKIP – equipment suppliers to taste and to the French Bakery Team.

COUPE LOUIS LESAFFRE 2014/2015

 

New points introduced for the 2014/2015 edition of the Coupe:

A broader jury:

• 4 members, experts in baking, who assess and mark the contestants’ skills and technical mastery

• 1 consultant nutritionist

• 1 gastronomy critic

• 1 journalist from the general press
