Best bread on the plate, best dream and best team of hatters were some of the categories awarded by the competition; see sample bakeries
For the third consecutive time, Panificadora Ceci, which has been operating for sixty years in the Planalto Paulista neighborhood, won the award as best bakery in São Paulo in the fourth edition of Padocaria, which had the awards ceremony held this Tuesday (5 ), at the headquarters of the Union of the Baking and Pastry Industry of São Paulo (Sampapão).
The classic bakery, which opened a salon in April this year, also won the award in the categories of best cafe and best bakery in the south of São Paulo. “We work hard and put a lot of love into our work. It is very gratifying to receive affection from the public and the judges,” said Ceci’s partner, Gustavo Guimarães Fernandes, after the award.
In addition to recognizing second and third place in each category, Padocaria also awarded some new awards this year.
