The annual fundraiser includes a silent auction, gourmet tasting stations and an awards ceremony, And then there is the famous (infamous?) Des Alpes Chocolate Fashion Show. Dozens of well-known chefs use their culinary creativity to design clothes -- and decorate models -- with chocolate and sugar confections.
We have to take our hats off to the brave models who strut their stuff down that runway -- a little bit of nervous sweating could have meant wardrobe disaster!
Hot -- but not too hot -- looks included a sassy Heidi, with a chocolate skirt and braids, a model in a towering headpiece made of cake, and a very sexy Cleopatra outfit made of sugar.
The outfit of the evening was worn by the Queen of Hearts, from "Alice in Wonderland." Her full-skirted ball gown looked glamorous, regal and delicious. And we have to wonder if the Mad Hatter tried to eat part of it off her back stage -- we would have been tempted!
