Top students strut their chocolate stuff

April 12, 2011, Toronto – Some of Canada’s best student chefs put
their chocolate prowess to the test at Humber College for the Cacao
Barry/Callebaut Canadian Intercollegiate Chocolate Competition.

The impressive calibre of competitors left the judges (Bakers

event, themed Under the Sea, enjoyed elite artistry in the making of showpieces,
hand-dipped bonbons, moulded bonbons and plated desserts.

Intercollegiate Chocolate Competition:
