The Austrian competition took place in the pompously “Redoutensäle of the Hofburg Vienna”. More then 3.500 visitors have seen very creatively and formidable show pieces, pralines and chocolate cakes.

On the same day the "Junior Chocolate Masters" were organised for young patissiers under the age of 26 years. They made chocolate showpieces to the theme of "L´Esprit francais".

The winner of the Junior Chocolate Master 2009 is Laura Pelzmann, Konditorei Kundlatsch, Gleinstätten. She is invited by Barry Callebaut to visit the world finals of the World Chocolate Masters 2009 in Paris.
