French Donut Championship

A professional event organised by Dawn Foods

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.

2024 winners

1st: Meng-Sear Taing (La Maison du Donut)

2d: Florent Masgonty (Ô Donuts Toulouse)

3rd: Muriel Peronet (Les délices de Mumu)

The challenges

The candidates will compete using the Dawn Foods Donuts Mix: 

Technical: mastery of the glazed donut, using Dawn's Donut Premium Crystal Glaze, a true American classic that is very simple but also very technical.

Imposed: share your version of the donutpatissier, a delicious blend of French and American pastry codes

Free: imagine a sweet, gourmet doughnut based on the codes of street food

  • Vahiné Foodservice, a brand of the McCormick group, will be making its range of dessert icings available to candidates who so wish, to help them sublimate their doughnuts.
  • Gault&Frémont, experts in packaging for professionals in the sector, will be lending their support by challenging participants on the final presentation of their doughnuts, using customised packaging designed especially for doughnuts.
