The workshop attracted a diverse group of attendees representing bakery managers and technical specialists from across the Chinese market. The goal was to deepen their understanding of Debic’s professional dairy solutions while elevating their bakery craftsmanship through technical demonstrations, product application sessions, and innovation‑driven activities.

During the hands‑on sessions, participants explored a variety of creative pastry applications using Debic’s professional dairy portfolio. They practiced shaping, piping, glazing, and advanced finishing techniques while preparing a selection of pastries.
The program also included a comprehensive introduction to Debic butter - highlighting its plasticity, stability, and excellent performance for laminated doughs, viennoiserie, and signature bakery items. These demonstrations allowed attendees to directly evaluate product performance while creating bakery items that combined European techniques with local preferences.

Both the European and Chinese bakery markets were discussed, offering participants a deeper understanding of flavour trends, product formats, and evolving consumer expectations.
