Sweet Tooth @ Dessert Fest

When December rolls in, teachers go into automatic holiday mode. This is exactly what I'm dealing with as I'm typing this. The unbearable feeling of sheer boredom mixed with an amalgamation of my, "I hate my life" type of emotions. Holidays as much as we love them comes wrapped up with too much time for our own good. The spare time as much as we crave it during the year causes us to crave many other things like samoosas, mushroom cups, pizzas and chocolate. (Tummy growling noises in the background). My sweet tooth has surely surfaced and if eating a whole slab of aero chocolate as well as all the custard slice in the fridge isn't proof of a sweet tooth I'm not sure what is. When the media crew behind the Dessert Fest sent my tickets, my inner guilty sub conscience did cartwheels. A dessert Fest? Can life get any sweeter?

But what exactly is a dessert fest you may ask?
Well, think all the best dessert innovators and creators showcasing their sugary creations at one place.

Why have a dessert fest now?
Simply because South Africa's very own baking sensation- Alice Chan has promised to recreate her much raved about, award winning death by chocolate cake in front of the audience and dessert mavericks at the dessert fest. Alice will be doing one of the live demo shows.

So who exactly is Alice Chan?
If you don't already know, Alice Chan is not only an associate professor at the University of Pretoria but also one of the 12 finalists in The Great South African Bake Off. She is the contestant who has managed to grab the First Star Baker award during cake week.  

Who is going to be featuring at the dessert fest?
Only the finest and sweetest dessert and delicacy crafters has been hand picked to showcase at the fest. Some top names like Maverick and Jane as well as Tonka Bean Bakery will feature their "yummies" at the fest.

Why attend?
To satisfy your need for something sweet and to binge for one day at least (or two if one day just isn't enough).  The festival is a whole day filled with dessert vendors and brands.

Why else must you attend the fest?
Zuraida Jardine-socialite and media personality will be the hostess of the fest. Plus every guest receives a goodie bag which includes a complimentary dessert by interior decor specialist, Vicky Crease.
