Viewers can now get the first glimpse of this year’s competitors, who are four of the world’s best pastry chefs, in what is dubbed CRPC “International”, as it marks the first year the competition was opened up to chefs from around the world. Finalists were selected for their creativity and outstanding plated desserts, and were chosen from dozens of submissions made by elite pastry chefs internationally. The competition took place and was filmed in September 2013 at The Chicago School of Mold Making’s creative center in Oak Park, Ill. “Each year, the competition gets fiercer and this season is more intense than ever,” says event organizer and 2013 Dessert Professional’s Top Ten Pastry Chef Jimmy MacMillan. “We’re excited to release the trailer to let viewers get a glimpse of the competitors, celebrity judges and some of the great products the chefs worked with this season. These chefs are masters at what they do and really elevate pastry arts. As we roll out the four episodes in 2014, viewers will learn so much from these chefs and pick up on some of their secret tips and incredible techniques.” The competition will be released in four episodes on JMPurePastry.com starting in January 2014 with one episode airing per month through April 2014.
