Elmendorf Baking Supplies and the East Cambridge Business Association are excited to announce the 2nd annual bread competition and Paris-inspired street festival we’re calling “Le Grand Prix Elmendorf du Pain". The festival and competition is inspired by a Paris baguette competition where professional bakers compete to have their baguettes be crowned the best in Paris. The winner gets bragging rights and becomes the official supplier of the French presidential residence for the year.
Our competition will be split into two categories: amateur and professional. Professionals will submit a baguette, while this year’s amateur category will feature miche.
Festival Details:
