Callebaut Chocolate Heroes 2017 Winners

A big thank you to all the chefs who took part in Callebaut’s Chocolate Heroes Cake Challenge. We enjoyed seeing a wide and creative use of Callebaut chocolate coming from around the country, and representing different styles and traditions from around the world.

The Callebaut judges had an insanely difficult time choosing the winners, but after a lengthy judging process, the team finally arrived at these conclusions.

We’re not going to keep you in suspense any longer! As chosen by the Callebaut judges, here are your winners.

Congratulations!
