Snaps from StarChefs Int. Pastry Competition Day 1
Posted by Niko on September 30th, 2013Day III: StarChefs International Chefs Congress, pastry competition final
Posted by Niko on October 3rd, 2012
“This is where these chefs have been competing for the last 3 days–right here on the armory floor–not in their restaurant kitchens…competing and cooking here, I can tell you, is a completeley different animal–it’s much more challenging”
Executive Pastry Chef of the competition, Johnny Iuzzini
The StarChefs 2012 International Chefs Congress came to a close yesterday but not before a thrilling pastry competition finale culminating with the announcement of the overall winner.
Day three of the competition featured three finalists from an initial group of 20 pastry chefs. The finalists were Jennifer Yee (formerly of SHO Shaun Hergott) Aya Fukai (Waldorf Astoria Chicago ) and Salvatore Martone (L’atelier de Joel Robuchon). After four more hours of competition, including tastings and showpieces, a crew of seriously credible pastry chefs including Elizabeth Falkner, Michael Laskonis and Stephane Treand, MOF set about to score each contestant on a variety of skills.

Michael Laiskonis Crunchy choux, elderflower, apricot at the Pastry Pop-up on Sunday afternoon
Many of our favorite pastry chefs were in attendance Sunday at the StarChefs International Chefs Congress. Michael Laiskonis had a “pop-up” pastry restaurant with seatings for six attendees at a time. Each guest received three courses. Proceeds from the pop-up restaurants go to Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (CCAP) an organization that works with underserved schools to prepare students for career opportunities in the restaurant and hospitality industry.
This will be outdated information by 1:00p.m. today but congratulations are in oder for the four New York City pastry chefs, all previously featured on DessertBuzz, who made it to the round of 10 in the StarChefs International Chefs Congresss 3rd annual pastry competition: Jennifer Yee (formerly of SHO Shaun Hergatt), Stephen Collucci (Colicchio and Sons), Ashley Brauze (DB Bistro Moderne) and Michal Shelkowitz (Dovetail).
