Pastry Live 2015, to be held August 23^rd, 24^th and 25^th, will also host several other competitions in addition to the Signature Plated Dessert competition. The Art of Cake, Chocolatier of the Year, The Dessert Cup, National Showpiece Championship and the Student Chocolate Challenge are among the other competitions. Pastry Atlanta will also be returning after a successful debut at last year’s Pastry Live.

Highlighted during these competitions will be some of the nation’s foremost talents. Additionally, the three-day event will feature seminars instructed by the top names in the industry. Various topics will be covered, offering cutting edge techniques and training to help attendees advance to the next level.

Pastry Live will host its fifth year at its newly found home, 200 Peachtree, Atlanta’s most centrally–located and convenient event venue. After four successful years, the event’s overwhelming growth prompted the venue change last year in order to further expand its offerings while keeping the integrity of the event intact.
