The Chocolate Show 2016 launch first ever UK Chocolate Dessert of the Year Competition

This year the The Chocolate Show has introduced the UK's first ever Chocolate Dessert of the Year competition with the aim to bring together the UK's most talented chocolatiers to showcase their skills.

The competition puts pastry chefs in the spotlight and is an exclusive opportunity for restaurants and hotels to publicize their best chocolate desserts in front of the industry’s leading food writers, chocolate experts, and chocolate lovers alike.

Judged by a panel of highly acclaimed experts at the 20,000 visitor show, each dessert will be critiqued live with the winning dessert claiming the title of ‘Best Chocolate Dessert in the UK’.
