This was pastry play,live from Poland's National Selection
For the freshest assignment of the day, contestants were asked for a fun spin on the iconic pastry format. To win over the jury, the chefs had to immerse the jury in a surprising pairing of flavours, and their pastry had to consist of at least 1 fresh chocolate, 1 local ingredient, and at least 3 textures. The most challenging bit? They had to do it all from scratch in a single competition day. Did you see their incredible creations?

Lule
