The origins of desserts can be traced back to the dawn of civilized man. From its humble beginnings as fruits and honeycomb to ice cream, tiramisu and chocolate cupcakes, dessert is a food gift that has never stopped giving. People’s love for their desserts is marked throughout time and is as constant as warm apple pie.

The World Dessert Championship will pit 50 of the world’s best dessert designers against each other for the title of World Dessert Champion. Home cooks, restaurateurs and chefs will all compete to see whose cuisine reigns supreme. The champion will then take their best shot to the Final Table for a chance to win the World Food Championship.

COMPETITION STRUCTURE

The World Food Championships will feature three rounds of competition.  
Signature Dish:  competitors will create their best recipe for judging within each category.  
Structured Build:  this round separates the contenders from the pretenders by forcing everyone to create their own spin on the same basic dish.  
Infused Ingredient:  the top competitors in each category will face off for culinary supremacy using the same ingredient in their final category dish.

COMPETITION SCHEDULE & RULES

The World Dessert Championship will be limited to the first 50 entrants who are fully qualified, registered and confirmed. Any qualified entrant who wants to compete after the field is full must seek a special exemption from the WFC competition committee.
