Held at the architecturally exquisite Bohemian National Hall in Slavic
Village on October 13th, the Art Therapy Studio’s 18th biennial event
celebrated Cleveland’s rich cultural history. Fourteen competitors
representing Northeast Ohio’s most notable culinary talent competed
in the evening’s Creative Confections Dessert Competition.
A panel of 15 culinary experts judged 22 culinary delights on taste and
artistic presentation. Desserts represented many countries, including
Hungary, China, Italy, Korea, France, Germany, Ireland, Greece, and
Syria. Taking “Best of Show” was Diana Dimitru’s Hungarian Rhapsody!
Former White House Executive Pastry Chef Roland Mesnier graciously
presented the awards, signed copies of his books, and greeted guests
and competitors throughout the evening.
