This is like Great British Baking Show…if the stakes were death…

We conclude our What’s Up Docs? series with a light-hearted romp through the world’s most stressful and high-stakes pastry contest. If you enjoy The Great British Baking Show, Iron Chef, or any other culinary contest, may we recommend Kings of Pastry, a documentary about the quadrennial contest to achieve France’s highest honor in the field of pastry chef-dom. Ne’er e’er has there been such drama around abstract sugar sculptures and such scrutiny over the flavor of a beautiful wedding cake. Bon appetit.
