Danny Serfer, the chef/restaurateur behind some of Miami’s most beloved restaurants has been eager to bring the queen of sweets, renowned Pastry Chef Hedy Goldsmith, back to Miami. Her long-awaited return will bring her to Serfer’s North Miami gem, Mignonette Uptown, for an exclusive, one-night-only dining experience. Goldsmith, a 2012 and 2013 James Beard Award Finalist for “Outstanding Pastry Chef” is recognized as one of the most talented artisans in her field.

On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, the two chefs will hit the kitchen to create a multi-course menu of savory dishes layering flavors sure to please any palate. Sprinkling some sugar on top of the already anticipated event, Goldsmith will be reunited with a former protégé from her Miami days, Devin Braddock, who serves as corporate pastry chef for all of Serfer’s restaurants. Together, they will work hand-in-hand to provide creative and decadent desserts – and even a take home treat for that late night craving.

Priced at $100 per person, the evening includes a seated multi-course dinner, a “goody bag” of sweet treats to go and a signed copy of Goldsmith’s first cooking book, Baking Out Loud: Fun Desserts with Big Flavors. Price excludes gratuity and alcohol.

Seating is limited; reservations can be made by calling: (305) 705-2159.

There are tons of music festivals in Miami, from Ultra to Miami Music Week. All of these music festivals, however, simply use the location of Miami but outsource artists, art, and other performances. I aim to not only use Miami, but also to utilize Miami. There is tons of talent, beauty, and creation in each corner of our city that we should work to bring to light. Sunshine and Soul’s mission is to do just that, starting with Overtown – one of the oldest communities in Miami, Fl.
