我是周子豪，来自广州新东方烹饪学校。

入行契机是出自对甜品艺术性的喜爱,很享受制作甜品艺术造型的乐趣。

所以我的专业兴趣也是偏重设计艺术造型和装饰，让甜品的外观更加诱人。

I am Zhou Zihao, a pastry chef from Guangzhou Xindongfang Cuisine School.

It was the passion in pastry artistry  brought me to this field. I deeply enjoy in creating artful styling of showpieces.

Therefore, I am more interested in designing artistic shapes and decorations to make the presentation of pastry work more attractive.

我是赵程撒，来自上海凯宾斯大酒店。

入行的契机是自己喜欢吃甜品，就开始尝试这个行业，逐渐走向越来越专业的发展。可以说是爱好变成了工作。我的专业是甜品，对巧克力更感兴趣。

I am Zhao Chengsa, from Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai.

The origin was my love of eating desserts, so I started to try this industry and gradually step on more and more professional development. It can be briefed as a hobby turned into profession. My specialty is dessert, and I am more interested in chocolate.

首先因为中国甜品锦标赛是西点界含金量特别高的一项赛事，而且赛事各项要求都比较明确，能让我们这些选手有很好的发挥空间，这些特点都有吸引到我。

First of all, CPC is the competition with esteem status in pasty industry. The rules and requirements are specific and clear, which provides all candidates more capacity of performance. Both the advantages have attracted me.

从业以来就一直有个梦想，就想有机会一定要去国际上比一场，在国际上拿好成绩。CPC就是这样一个通往国际舞台的专业的比赛，所以很自然听到比赛招募的消息后，就会想到报名了。

Since I became a professional chef, I have always had a dream, to compete at an international arena and achieve good result. CPC is exactly such a professional competition which will be leading to the international stage. So it was natural reaction to me to get signed up as soon as I heard of the recruitment news.

本次比赛难度更高，因为CPC是要选出优秀的选手代表国家参赛，审核和要求更为严格。

CPC is a more intense competition, as it is about to select outstanding candidates to represent China.

Both the review process and requirements are more stringent.

这次比赛的规格更高，要求更多，规模更大，工作人员都非常专业。

This CPC has much higher standard, more requirements and a larger scale. All the staff are very professional．

赛前准备比较紧张。之前参加了另外一个比赛，只有三个星期左右来准备这次比赛作品的设计，可以说是不分昼夜的准备，全力以赴来完善这次作品的设计和制作稿。

The preparation was quite tense.  I just participated in another competition, therefore only had about three weeks to prepare the design for this CPC.  I have made the utmost efforts of days and nights to perfect the design and sketch draft of my work.

通宵准备，很多天的通宵准备。我也是刚参加过另外一个比赛，准备本次比赛的时间只有两周多一点。因为白天要工作，只有晚上可以准备比赛。

I have prepared overnights, many overnights. I just participated in another competition as well, and the time to prepare for this CPC is only about two weeks. I also need to work during daytime, therefore could only prepare for CPC by overnights.

糖艺展品  “奇迹-飞仙” 

这次大赛官方设定的主题是“彩中国”。我的作品是以敦煌壁画飞天图为灵感来创作。敦煌壁画是西域文化与中原文化共同孕育而成，证明中国文明的多样性。我以多姿多彩的文化形式来表达主题。造型所呈现的是一个凌空翱翔的飞天仙女的意境。

Sugar Showpiece: “Miracle-Fairy”

The 3rd CPC has set the theme as "Color. China". My work is inspired by Dunhuang frescoes of flying apsaras. The Dunhuang frescoes were both nurtured by western region culture and central plains culture, which proved the diversity of Chinese civilization.  I respond the theme in the variety of cultural forms. The modeling presents the artistic conception of a flying apsaras in the sky.

巧克力展品：“茶韵”

灵感来自于一位师傅，我想用中国风来表达“彩中国”主题。红木和茶壶，边上配了花朵和叶子组合，做出中国茶韵的感觉。

Chocolate showpiece: "Tea Rhymes" 

Inspired by a master, I mean to use Chinese style to respond to the theme of "Color. China". The feeling of Chinese tea rhyme is expressed by the mahogany and teapot accompanied by a combination of flowers and leaves.

主要的问题是温度和湿度带来的困扰，我常年在广州，温差和湿度跟上海差别很大，因此可能造成比赛中一些失分。我会建议今后的选手多去各种环境训练，提高自己技法的适应性。

The main problem was the temperature and humidity. I am based in Guangzhou, where the temperature and humidity are very different from Shanghai, which caused me some troubles and might resulted points deduction. I would recommend future candidates to go to various environments to train more to improve their adaptability of techniques.

在比赛现场我遇到最大的问题是温度。现场会有很多不确定因素，比赛的挑战之一就是遇到各种问题，并解决好它们。另外一个是，在比赛中口味非常非常重要。其实在比赛之前的感受最想分享给大家，因为一直是一个人在准备比赛，准备期间遇到问题不知道怎么解决的无助感，比赛时间快到但是又没有作品的压力感，每天通宵到早晨第二天还要工作的疲惫感，让我想过好多次的放弃，好在坚持了下来，还拿到通往世界舞台的机会。所以有深深的体会到，梦想一定要有的，一定要坚持为梦想付出努力，万一幸运眷顾梦想实现了呢。

The biggest problem was the temperature. Particular feelings are: There will be many uncertainties at the scene. One of the challenges of competition is to encounter various problems and solve them. The other is that taste is very, very important.

Actually, I would more like to share the feelings before competition. I have been preparing for the competition by myself and got a complex feelings of helplessness when I encounter problems, the pressure from I still was not sure what to do while competition time is approaching and feeling of exhausted for preparing overnights. It happened a few times I thought of giving up. Fortunately, I persevered and got the opportunity of stepping on the world stage. Now I have a deep understanding we must have a dream, and be persist in working hard for the dream. You never know on which day the dream comes true.

首先非常感谢广州新东方烹饪学校对我参赛的支持，也感谢主办方组委会和各位评委老师给予的机会和肯定。还要感谢以往对我进行教导的师傅杨教练，与各位师傅们。指引我参赛的冯老师与各位老师们。很荣幸能够获得代表国家参赛的机会，我一定会全力以赴做好充分的准备，迎接新的挑战。

Firstly, I would like to thank Guangzhou Xindongfang Cuisine School for supporting me in participating CPC. Thank the organizing committee and the judges for the opportunity and recognition. I would also like to thank Coach Yang and all the masters, who instructed me in the past, coach Feng and all other teachers who guided me into the competition. I am honored to have the opportunity to represent China in APC. I will definitely go all out to make full preparations to meet the new challenges.

此时的心情更多的是压力，知道自己和好的国际级别选手其实还是有很大差距，要努力的地方还有很多很多。因为面对亚洲杯，我想拿出更好的作品。我不太满意这次的表现，自己认为这次比赛的作品还有遗憾，还没有做到最好。

I am feeling more of pressure, knowing that there is still a big gap between myself and a good candidate at international level.  There are still many things I could work on. Looking forward to the Asian Cup, I want to come up with better works. I am not very satisfied with the performance this time as there are still regrets in the works, and I have not done my best yet.

所有选手都对主题表达的非常好，体现到了多姿多彩。巧克力组冠军作品运用了中国的陶瓷茶具以及红木来表现中国文化，作品非常精致，对工艺的要求非常高。

All the candidates responded very well to the theme, and truly reflected the versatility. The showpiece created by the chocolate champion is very delicate by applying Chinese ceramic tea sets and mahogany to express Chinese culture, which also requires s very high craftsmanship.

每一位选手都是值得尊敬的，在背后付出的努力是行外人想象不到的，比如比赛当天8个小时不停的制作。还有平时对工作和参加比赛的平衡，如何在不影响工作的情况下用最佳状态来比赛，是要付出巨大的精力。 外地过来的选手，更是非常不容易，自己要带过来参赛的工具就有200多斤。

Every candidate deserves respect. The hard work behind the scenes is beyond the imagination of outsiders, such as the 8-hour non-stop work during the competition. There is also an issue of balancing work and participation in competitions. It is very challenging to play in the best condition without affecting regular job.   There are even more challenges for the non local candidates, for example, only the tools they need to bring to the competition are more than 100 kg.

自身还要很多不足。还要多充实自己，不断的去完善，通过技术的提升力争上游。

There is still much deficiency I should be working on.  I must do my best to enhance myself, and strive to be superior through craftsmanship improvement.

用百分百的努力去准备比赛，希望能做出让自己满意的成绩，也不要辜负大家对我们的期待。

Make 100% efforts to prepare for APC, hoping to make a result that satisfies myself and the expectations on us. 

这次比锦标赛让我收获到了很多，我今后还要更多去比赛，让技能有更大的提升。谢谢！

I have gained a lot from this CPC experience. I will go for more competitions in the future to further enhance my skills.Thanks!

希望通过各种比赛锻炼自己，希望未来能成长为一个出色的甜品师。谢谢！

I hope to exercise myself through various competitions, and I hope I can grow into an excellent pastry chef in the future.Thanks!
