2009 Amoretti National Pastry Team Championship

Since its inception, The National Pastry Team Championship has become one of the most talked about events in pastry in the USA.

The competition features up to 12 teams, each with 3 professional pastry chefs who labor for 13 hours over the course of two days to produce a plated dessert, an entremet, an entremet glace, bonbons, petits gateaux, and chocolate and sugar showpieces according to a theme (this year's theme is Time).

The National Team Pastry Championship is held in odd numbered years with the winning team representing the United States in the World event the following year.

For the National Pastry Team Championship, professional pastry chefs living and working in the U.S. are invited to submit their credentials and achievements to be considered for a captaincy spot in the competition. A selection committee of noted pastry chefs reviews the applications and the captains are chosen and the captains select their teams. For the World Pastry Team Championship, noted pastry chefs from the country are invited by the organizing committee to bring a team to the United States to compete.
