<\/a>The six-inch, multi-layered dessert is available Thursday through Saturday evenings in April, designated as Colorado Architecture Month. Prescott teamed up with architect Christy Riggs for Delicious Designs, a program that celebrates architecture through dessert. The Colorado component of the American Institute of Architects\u00a0 pairs up several Colorado architects and chefs to create a limited-time offering of desserts inspired by architecture throughout the state.<\/p>\nThe foundation of the dessert is a flourless almond cake cut into building block shapes and coated with milk chocolate. The glass is depicted with marshmallow, and the iconic prow and copper side walls are rendered with chocolate-covered graham crackers. Once the building is assembled, the marshmallow is torched for a glazed appearance. Caramel sauce and orange segments complete the presentation.<\/p>\n
The Cornerstone Almond S\u2019more feeds two to three and costs $12. The wait staff presents the dessert with an artist\u2019s rendition of the building, to help orient diners.<\/p>\n
Prescott says it takes several days to prepare the dessert for assembly, as her staff needs to make the almond cake and graham crackers, coat them with chocolate, and cut them into the proper sized pieces. However, once the ingredients are ready, assembling CC\u2019s iconic building can be done in three to four minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fun and challenging,\u201d Prescott says. Last year she and Riggs also participated in the program with two entries: a dessert rendition of the Fine Arts Center served at Nosh, and the then-new Goodwill building served at The Blue Star.<\/p>\n
Other architecture being represented via desserts throughout the state this month include the Brown Palace Hotel, Pepsi Center, Marble Garden at Aspen Meadows, and Denver\u2019s Millennium Bridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
