The 2012 Pastry Chef Showcase featured some of Calgary's finest Pastry chefs who each put meticulous detail into desserts, ready for the eager crowd (with equally large sweet tooths) at The Ranchmens Club in Calgary on a cold Sunday afternoon.  As sponsor of this year’s event, City Style and Living Magazine was proud of the talents that Calgary has to offer, with proceeds in support of L’Arche Calgary, SAIT Baking & Pastry Arts Students, and the Pastry Chef Guild of Alberta.

Qzina and Lisserto, showcased fine pastry products for the avid baker to the most advanced pastry chef including Kakao Berlin chocolate, maple syrup butter from Quebec, to macrons silicone moulds and icing sugar decorations while wine and cheese stations helped to cut some of the richness from the sweets.

Chefs competed to win the coveted profession prize and people's choice award. This year's winner of the People's Choice Award was Alison LaFrance of Whippt and winner of the Professional award was Pastry Chef Bishwa Pati of Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire.

Giddiness exuded from the crowd and adults turned to children complete with sugar highs and resounding ‘wows’.  The organization, quality and passion that was involved in the Showcase was and continues to be outstanding and the must attend sweet event of the season!
