U.S. team wins World Cup of Baking in Paris
The U.S. team, led by captain William Leaman of Seattle's Essential Baking Co., yesterday captured the prestigious Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie (World Cup of Baking) in Paris.
It was a return to the top for Team USA, which stunned the international baking community in 1999 when it upset the French to capture first place.
In 2002, Team USA won the silver amid controversy over soft judging. The event, held every three years, features 12 teams from around the world working elbow-to-elbow in a 12-foot-by-12-foot kitchen preparing more than 300 baguettes, specialty breads, pastries, sandwiches and the regulation 1-meter-by-1-meter bread sculpture in just eight hours.
