Salon du Chocolat Professionnel

While everyone upstairs at the Paris Salon du Chocolat was stuffing their faces full of chocolate, downstairs the brand new Salon du Chocolat Professionnel was taking place and we were stuffing our faces too. Don’t kid yourself! Plus we got to pause and sit on a giant chocolate religieuse poof! Weeeeeeee These are NOT giant chocolate macarons seats… But rather freebie eats at the Barry Callebaut cafe for the starving professional attendents. Spoons is right!There were plenty of celebrity chefs signing their cookbooks like Stephan Glacier…And other pastry chefs busy judging chocolate sculptures… Did you know that all chocolate cullinary students must create these elaborate concoctions that no one ever gets to eat? It’s part of the training. There was also a replay of the final of the World Chocolate Masters, an international competition taking place.
