Master Baker Dominique Genty from Grands Moulins de Paris is giving advice to our students
SYB students at Lesaffre’s booth
SYB students take part in their first bakery competition!
Food & Hospitality China (FHC) is an international trade fair, dedicated to Food & Beverages professionals in China. From 13th to 15th November 2013, FHC held its 17th edition at Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
On November 13th, fourteen SYB students attended the FHC fair as competitors for the Bakery Competition, organized by the World Association Culinary Societies. They were very excited to display their music-themed decorated breads, as well as their baguettes, croissants, fruit Danishes and country breads.
While waiting for the competition’s results, the apprentice bakers were lucky to meet Master Baker Dominique Genty from Grands Moulins de Paris who gave them precious advice to improve their baking skills. He was especially impressed by the quality of the croissants and said that he could feel how much hard work and passion they had put into this competition! Then, the students visited Grands Moulins de Paris’s booth to thank them for their support. The French flour producer generously donates high-quality flour to cover SYB needs.
Besides, the students also visited Lesaffre’s booth to thank them for their strong support. Lesaffre has been a partner ever since the inception of the program, by either having one of their bakers teaches our students or sponsoring our current teachers.
At the end of the day, even though none of the SYB participants won a price, they were still very proud to have taken part in their first bakery competition, and to have submitted their work to both the general public and the bakery chefs. The visitors were impressed by the students’ unique piece of arts without knowing that they had only been training in French bakery for three months. This 6th batch of Shanghai young bakers seems very promising.
Bravo to the fourteen apprentice bakers for their performance!

海上青焙坊学生在进口食品展上参加第一次烘焙大赛
进口食品餐饮展会（FHC）是一个国际展览会，专注于中国的食品餐饮行业。2013年11月13日-15日，FHC在上海新国际博览中心举行了第17届进口食品展。
11月13日，14名海上青焙坊的学生以参赛者的身份参加了食品展上由国际烹饪协会组织的上海国际烹饪艺术大赛。学生们很高兴能展示他们以音乐为主题的艺术面包和他们的法棍、羊角、水果酥和乡村面包。
在等待比赛结果的时候，学生们非常幸运地遇到了来自巴黎大磨坊的烘焙大师Dominique Genty，他为学生们提供了许多提升烘焙技能的宝贵意见。羊角面包的质量给Genty大师留下了深刻的印象，他说他能感觉到学生们为了这次比赛所付出的努力和热情！接着，学生们参观了巴黎大磨坊的展台，感谢他们的支持。这家法国面粉制造商非常慷慨地捐出了他们高质量的面粉以满足海上青焙坊的需要。
除此之外，学生们还参观了乐斯福公司的展台，感谢他们强有力的支持。自海上青焙坊成立之日起，乐斯福就是我们项目的合作伙伴。他们或是请烘焙师为我们的学生上课，或是资助我们现任的烘焙师。
一天结束后，尽管学生们都没有获得奖励，他们还是为能第一次参加这样高水准的烘焙大赛、为能够向公众和烘焙大师展示他们的作品而感到骄傲。许多参观者在不知道学生们只学习了三个月法式烘焙的情况下，依然对学生们独特的艺术作品印象深刻。第六届海上青焙坊的学生们看上去非常有前途。
让我们为这14名学生的表现喝彩！
海伦，合作伙伴关系建立
