November 18, 2014 – Blurring the lines between art and food, three Monterey Bay area pastry chefs joined forces last week for a spectacular dinner benefiting Monterey’s Youth Arts Collective. Organized by designer Hanni Liliedahl of Monterey’s Lilify, the dinner was focused around the humble, yet beautiful, pear.
It showcased the culinary and artistic skills of Ben Spungin of the Coastal Luxury Management Group, Ron Mendoza of Aubergine in Carmel, and Yulanda Santos of Sierra Mar restaurant at the Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur.
Enjoy this gallery of photos of their temporal creations…because that’s all that’s left! Photos are courtesy of the talented Eileen Roche Photography.
