LONDON, Oct 20 2015 – The Great British Spiced Chocolate Challenge (GBSCC) was won by a 19-year old amateur chocolate maker.
Zara Snell, a student at the National Baking School, won with her Moroccan Rose chocolate which the judges – ranging from culinary editors to a TV chef – thought was “absolutely delicious” and from a chocolate maker “who really knows what they’re doing”.
Her prize includes a trip to Grenada for the Chocolate Festival next year.
Zara from Petersfield, Hampshire, who was ‘highly commended’ in last year’s GBSCC said she was delighted to win.
“I didn’t think I’d make it through the first round! I’m so looking forward to heading off to Grenada for next year’s Chocolate Festival – I’ve found it really inspirational to work with the spices for this year’s competition and can’t wait to try them out over there and meet the farmers themselves.”
