A Taste of Fiction is a fundraiser for St. Louis Public Library featuring pastry items from several St. Louis area chefs. The chefs have been asked to “interpret literary works in pastry.” Adult beverages will be served.

The event on Friday night at St. Louis Public Library is SOLD OUT. But you can check out the creative creations on Saturday (3/8/14). You can also meet and greet Robbie Montgomery of Sweetie Pie’s on Saturday afternoon. Click HERE for details.

Among the many fine sponsors of the event are Hendrick’s Gin and Monkey Shoulder Whiskey. Here are a couple of cool cocktail recipes that were passed our way, FYI:
