No odds beaten
On 23-24 February, UKBA organised its Junior Confectioners’ World Championship at Hungexpo, with 17 (23-year old or younger) contestants from 12 countries. Most of the competitors have already participated in similar contests, but the two Hungarians were an exception. Odds remained unbeaten, as Angelika Huber from Germany won the competition. Two young talents represented Hungary. Nikoletta Tapaszti (age: 22, trainer: László Mihályi), hoped to finish in the first 10, but unfortunately she did not have enough time to finish all of her works – she closed the contest at the 13th place. Enikő Lestár (age: 22, trainer: Gábor Birkás) was quite confident and had no problems with timing – she finished 14th. János Pataki, the president of the guild said the most important task of the profession was to improve the training of confectioner-teachers. The trade’s reaction to the contest was not unanimous. However, the presidency of the guild decided to organise the next ‘Confectioner of the year’ contest at the Hoventa or sometime next year.
