K- Last week I volunteered/attended the Washington Humane Society’s Sugar and Champagne Affair and I must say, what a treat!
Many fabulous chefs from restaurants such as Black Salt, Hanks Oyster Bar, Trummer’s on Main, Bastille and Equinox were represented at the event and it was difficult to decide what delightful pastries I would relish for the evening.
I tasted a mouth-watering tiramisu, champagne cake, a macaroon interestingly frozen, a boozy vegan shake, a profiterole oozing with a fruit jam, among a few other tantalizing sweets. I did get some non-sweet delectables such as a lovely, fresh ceviche and sweet potato soup. I also picked up some cute little dog biscuits for my pup – who went crazy for the treats. Oh and did I mention the champagne? It went delightfully with everything! Although if you would rather something other than champagne there were some mixed drinks.
The reception was at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center and honored local animal crusaders while raising critical funds to help care for the homeless pet population in our nation’s capital. The hosts of the affair were Chef Todd Gray and Ellen Kassoff Gray.
I would highly recommend going to this event with your friends next year. Besides raising money for a fabulous cause, it’s also a great way to taste some scrumptious treats with a glass of bubbly and well-dressed pups!
