Great time at the Edible Art Show |
|
|
A great time was had by all at the "Eat your Art Out"
edible art, held on March 10th at the Palace Theater to
benefit Main Street. Our three tier chocolate cake, with
accents of chocolate macaroon and meringue , was a study
of texture and color. And yummy, too.
