Still basking in the sweetness and joy of our Heritage Dinner. The finale of so many of the pastry chefs who brought their cakes to honor Rose Levy Beranbaum for a glorious table! Special thanks to Fante's Kitchen Shop for sponsoring and the many Dames who helped organize and produce our desserts. Shout out to pastry chef Kate Marsh Honeyman who brought her cakes and Walnut Hill College pastry students to help cut hundreds of cake tastes, to Rachel Miriam (Rachel Sherman) for coordinating it all, Leslie McLaughlin from The Franklin Fountain for rallying the troops, and Chef/teacher Kelli Payne for leading the massive cake slicing! Who can forget Franklin Fountain’s Honey Comb ice cream or the nectarine intermezzo from Gab Cordone from the the bent spoon . Thanks to Burlap & Barrel | Single-Origin Spices for their chef gifts. (Their cinnamon is the best!) we have so much gratitude for all the talent shared and for the celebration of our honorees, Rose Levy Beranbaum, The Canal House founders, Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer and Michele Leff from 12th Street Catering
Thanks need to go to the cochairs Natanya DiBona and lynn buono
