One Week Before "Let Them Eat Cake" @ SOBE Wine & Food Festival 2011

Sobe’s 10th Year Anniversary Party “Let Them Eat Cake” hosted by Emeril Lagasse and Martha Stewart sponsored by Ocean Drive Magazine takes place just one week from today. This event is going to be GREAT! Tantalizingly lucious desserts brought to the participants by  the likes of Mr. Chocolate himself, Chef Jaques Torres, Food Network's Duff Goldman and many others! All will present their own 10th Anniversary treats. The venue, South Beach's newest PARKING GARAGE, was designed by  the same architects as London's Tate Modern Museum. I can't wait!

Meet the lovely FIU student who will be assisting me during "Let Them Eat Cake":

Monika Fuentes

Monika Fuentes says that she might not be the best cook in her class but she surely has the biggest appetite. Monika is a Senior in the Hospitality and Tourism program of FIU and has a loving and caring family that supports her. She has this insatiable hunger for life that pushes her to go out of her usual comfort zone. "Life is about experiencing and doing as much as you can, and I plan to do just that." 

When Monika and I spoke for the first time we were blown away by how much we had in common! You see it just so happens that Monika's Mother is from the same Province in Cuba, Matanzas, as I am! She states "I know I have mentioned this before but I'll say it again, I am very honored in having the pleasure to assist you in this event Bianca. After our phone conversation I was amazed that a woman miles and miles away which I've never met before, could have so much in common with me. That's the beauty of hospitality, it gives people like you and me a chance to create bonds they wouldn't have made otherwise. Thank you again for the opportunity to do something different!"
