- Loïc Ballet, journalist
- Mina Soundiram, journalist
- Victor Habchy, journalist
- Manon Chollot, journalist and food editor at Sortir à Paris (!)
In all, no fewer than 13 trophies were awarded for the year's finest pastry, chocolate and ice cream creations. The new generation of creative pastry chefs were also honored, and were a real breath of fresh air.
