At previous events, we’ve seen gourmet bread pudding, decadent white chocolate pot dè crème, irresistible macaroons, and much more.
The sweet, creative offerings will be judged by a panel of local celebrity guests, and competitors will vie for awards in several categories: Most Creative Use of Chocolate, Judge’s Choice, and Best Decorations. Attendees will also be able to vote for the People’s Choice winner.
