This unique and exciting event brought together our most skilled and passionate students, each ready to push the boundaries of flavor while crafting irresistible desserts that were as visually stunning as they were delicious.

Held in the institute’s state-of-the-art kitchens, the challenge was set with one simple yet intriguing rule: create mouthwatering desserts with minimal sugar. While the challenge may have seemed daunting at first, our budding chefs embraced it with enthusiasm, transforming the limitations into an opportunity for innovation. The result? A breathtaking array of desserts that delighted every sense!

From delicate puddings to luscious mousses and decadent sweets, our students showcased their ability to balance flavor and creativity, all while adhering to the Cheeni Kam theme. Each dish was a testament to their culinary skills, artistry, and a keen understanding of how to use alternative ingredients to elevate the flavors without relying on sugar. It was clear that the participants had poured their hearts and souls into every dish, carefully crafting their creations with attention to detail and passion for their craft.

The competition was fierce, with students experimenting with an exciting variety of natural sweeteners, herbs, spices, and fruits, while keeping health-conscious dessert lovers in mind. The air was filled with anticipation as the judges sampled each masterpiece, savoring the flavors, textures, and the innovative approach to reducing sugar. And while the competition was undoubtedly intense, it was the camaraderie and shared joy of culinary discovery that truly stood out.
