NOTHING COULD BE SWEETER…

SOME ARTISTS WORK WITH OIL AND CANVAS, SOME WITH CLAY OR STONE; BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ARTISTRY THAT HAPPENS IN KITCHENS ALL ACROSS THE WORLD? IF THE DEFINITION OF ART IS THE EXPRESSION OR APPLICATION OF HUMAN CREATIVE SKILL AND IMAGINATION TO PRIMARILY CREATE BEAUTY FOR EMOTIONAL POWER, THEN WHAT BETTER MEDIUM THAN THE FOOD THAT WE EAT.

THINK BACK TO SOME OF YOUR EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES AND YOU’LL FIND VIGNETTES OF SMELLS AND TASTES. THE SIMPLE SMELL OF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES CAN SUDDENLY TRANSPORT YOU BACK TO YOUR MOTHER’S KITCHEN WHERE HER LOVE FOR YOU WAS CAPTURED IN EVERY GOOEY MORSEL OF JUST-OUT-OF-THE OVEN CONFECTION. THE SIGHT OF A PERFECTLY-FROSTED CAKE CREATES WITHIN THAT EXCITING ANTICIPATION OF THE SWEET INDULGENCE THAT WE WERE TREATED TO AT GRANDMA’S HOUSE. EVERY ARTIST POURS THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO THEIR WORK IN ORDER TO SHARE THEIR PASSION WITH OTHERS. ONE GREAT IN THE PASTRY-ART WORLD, BUDDY VALASTRO, UNDERSTANDS HOW PERSONALLY ONE CAN BE TOUCHED BY A SWEET TREAT, “CAKES ARE SPECIAL. EVERY BIRTHDAY, EVERY CELEBRATION ENDS WITH SOMETHING SWEET, A CAKE, AND PEOPLE REMEMBER. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MEMORIES.”

WE ALL HAVE THE DESIRE TO SHARE OUR PASSIONS WITH OTHERS. AS SOCIAL CREATURES IT IS IN OUR NATURES. CREATIVE CONFECTIONERY ARTISTRY CAN TOUCH UPON ALL OF THE SENSES IN A UNIQUE WAY THAT NO OTHER ART MEDIUM CAN. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE AMAZING TEXTURES INTERWOVEN IN THE BRUSH STROKES OF A VAN GOGH AND IMAGING WHAT HE WAS FEELING WHEN HE PAINTED IT. YOU CAN FEEL THE COOL SMOOTHNESS OF A PIECE OF MARBLE CARVED BY A RENAISSANCE ARTIST AND IMAGINE THE PAINSTAKING PROCESS THE SCULPTURE WENT THROUGH. WITH SUGAR AS YOUR MEDIUM YOU DON’T HAVE TO IMAGINE. YOU CAN SEE, TOUCH, SMELL AND TASTE THE CREATIVITY OF THE ARTIST. IT IS AN EXPERIENCE OF ART LIKE NO OTHER. ALLOW YOURSELF THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE GREATS AND HAVE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE AT A GALLERY CELEBRATION OF SUGAR CONFECTION. THE AMERICAS CAKE AND SUGARCRAFT FAIR™ HOSTED BY SATIN FINE FOODS, CREATOR OF SATIN ICE FONDANT, AND PRODUCED BY FAITH FERGUSON PRODUCTIONS, RUNS FROM SEPTEMBER 18-20TH, 2015, IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA AT THE ORANGE COUNTY CONVENTION CENTER.
