Spring will be here before we know it! Fourteen Chester County pastry chefs are putting these cold winter days to good use by creating award-winning desserts for Sweet Charity. Over 500 guests are expected to attend this highly competitive dessert contest on Tuesday, March 29 from 6-8:30 p.m at Waterloo Gardens, 200 North Whitford Road, Exton. Hosted by Linda LeBoutillier, Sweet Charity benefits the Chester County Community Foundation and grows legacy philanthropy throughout the region.
Dessert entries will be finalized by spring’s thaw. Who can forget last year’s delicious winner, New Street Catering’s Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut Tart with Sea Salt Caramel Cream? Or the popular Brickside Grille’s Triple Chocolate
Fried Brownies with Cinnamon Vanilla Ice Cream?
On March 29 guests will enjoy fragrant spring blossoms in Waterloo’s greenhouses as they mingle with dessert chefs from Amani’s, Carlino’s, Crazy About Hummus!, Desmond Hotel, General Warren Inne, Jimmy Duffy & Sons, The Lincoln Room, The Master’s Baker, New Street Catering, Newton’s on State Street, Riverstone Café, Ship Inn, St. Peter’s Bakery and Whitford Country Club. Those who are hesitant to spend a whole evening eating desserts will enjoy a delicious Gourmet Buffet by Aquilante.
Sweet Charity also features the Sweet Victory Welcome Area, pairing Victory Brewing beers with desserts. Sweet Victory is hosted by ChesCo Community Imprints, a network of Chester County’s aspiring, emerging and established philanthropists and community volunteers
aged 30-45.
