There's no real way to describe the 11th annual For the Love of Chocolate Gala — which happened on a positively balmy Saturday in Chicago on Feb. 27 — as anything other than a spectacle.
More than 800 people, many dressed up as gangsters and flappers, gathered at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22. Together, supporters raised more than $180,000, up at least $70,000 from last year. Proceeds will help fund student scholarships for The French Pastry School’s L’Art de la Patisserie and L’Art du Gateau programs.
Come this Saturday, Feb. 22, the For the Love of Chocolate Foundation will transform Chicago’s Union League Club into a classy speakeasy, all for the benefit of awarding scholarships to students attending The French Pastry School.
The fashion show featured models floating down the runway in dresses literally good enough to eat. The tables were lined with gourmet foods available for the taking. And by the end, no one was ready to leave.
