During FHA 2026 in Singapore, the Asian Pastry Cup was held, selecting the five countries that will compete in the grand final of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie, to be held in Lyon in January 2027.

The teams had to interpret the beauty of the underwater world through their creations, from coral reefs to vibrant ecosystems beneath the sea.

As in 2024, Japan (Nina Ioka and Natsuki Maruyama) took the victory. Second place went to Malaysia (Foo Yi Qing and Pui Teng) and third to the Philippines (Janelle Joy Toh and Gian Aguirre). The highlight of this edition is that, for the first time in the competition’s history, all the podium teams were composed of women (except for the coaches).

During the competition, Singapore and South Korea earned wild cards, meaning these two countries will also compete in the World Cup. Additionally, India received the Rising Star award and Indonesia the award for best team spirit.
