  1. Anchor butter is my favorite so far. I enjoy having toast with Anchor butter and get a pat for each bite! It’s amazing the recipes created at this culinary challenge with Anchor as the main ingredient. I just learned that they also have cheeses and varieties of creams and milks.

  2. I love Anchor dairy products especially their butter. I can actually put large amount of them on a single bread haha.
    I never had a chance to attend a Pastry Culinary challenge like this but I would love to. I am a pastry lover and I love the craft itself. Pasty making unlike other cooking involves creativity and i think that is exactly what they showed here. Those are wonderfully decorated cakes and I would rather display them than eat them haha

  3. Those are cakes??? They are very beautiful! It would be very hard to eat them! Good for you that you were able to witness this culinary challenge.
