French Donut Championship

Thursday 3rd April , 9:00am -12:00 pm / Snacking Arena

Donut enthusiasts and specialists will come from all over France to compete for the first ever title of French Donut Champion.

Moist, tasty, inventive... a fresh, quality donut requires a technique and know-how that is much more advanced than it seems!

Through this competition, the aim is to highlight the know-how and inventiveness required to make a real fresh donut, which places it in the pantheon of fine pastry making in the same way as a chocolate éclair.
