Using wheat flour and salt, Vietnamese bakers made “My village” with bamboo, coconut trees and houses on stilts as their submission at the Louis Lesaffre Cup’s Asian selection round in Guangzhou, China.

“My village” is the name of a baking artwork of Vietnamese bakers at the Louis Lesaffre Cup’s Asian selection round, one of the world’s largest baking competition, which drew the participation of seven regional countries, including China, Japan , Indonesia , the Philippines , the Republic of Korea , Australia and Vietnam. The competition took place in Guangzhou from May 26 to 28.

Three prominent bakers who represented Vietnam at the competition included Vo Thanh Tuan from BigC supermarket, Nguyen Truong Kim Phung from ABC Bakery and Nguyen Van Hung from Caravelle Hotel. They competed in three categories: Loaves, Viennes Pastries and Artistic Piece, respectively.

The best two teams at the round will go on competing in the Bakery World Cup, scheduled to be held in France in 2012.
