 The 2014 Pastry Chef Showcase held at The Ranchmen's Club drew a large group of sweet tooths and pastry fanatics on a chilly Calgary afternoon.  As always, The Pastry Chef Showcase tickets go toward supporting L'Arche Calgary.


 L'Arche Calgary's mission is to create homes and faith communities where people with developmental disabilities and those who share life with them find a place of belonging and reveal their gifts.

The display of talented pastry students and Chefs was remarkableEach participant showed an attention to detail and thoughtfulness to presentation that made guests gasp with joy, and with one bite, soon turned to sighs of delight.

Each year, the organizers (The Pastry Chef Guild), volunteers and sponsors bring an outstanding level of quality, organization and professionalism to this magnificent event.

Sweet success.

Here's to 2016 Chefs!
