If you’re a carb-oholic or just crazy about perfectly flaky, crisp crusts, you’ll want to clear your calendar for a taste at what could possibly be Florida’s best! The National Hotel Miami Beach is set to transform into a buttery pastry paradise to host Florida’s Best Baguette & Croissant Competition, where several of the state’s bakeries bring their A-game to win the coveted titles.
Presented by the French American Association of Crafts & Trades (FAACT) in partnership with French Morning, the event will take place on Sunday, October 25.
What to expect
Guests will spend the evening indulging in a French-inspired gastronomic experience, sampling the competing baguettes and croissants from every finalist. And because no excellent bread should be eaten alone, the baked goods will be paired with artisan cheeses and charcuterie.
After tasting your way through the finalists’ delectable creations, you get to have your say by casting your vote for the People’s Choice Award, while a distinguished panel of professional chefs are on-site to crown the official Grand Prix winners.
The details
The baking competition will run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on October 25, and attendees must be 21 years of age or older. Valet parking will be available at the hotel and general admission includes access to all bakery tastings, cheese and charcuterie pairings, alongside one complimentary drink.
The National Hotel Miami Beach is located at 1677 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139.
