Keegan Gerhard, the host of Food Network Challenge was at the NYC Chocolate Show. He was very impressed with the chocolate dress and because of that, he passed my name on to the Food Network Challenge people. I was asked to compete on the Chocolate Landmark show and given only one day to make up my mind! Why does this happen to me!!?? I guess because I am crazy enough. :)
Within 3 weeks of saying "yes", Brandon and I were on a flight to Denver, CO to build a chocolate Statue of Liberty in 8 hours, in front of a live audience and at times 5 cameras. It was exhilarating, challenging, entertaining and most of all NERVE RACKING! (and I would do it again in a heartbeat! - in fact they have already asked if I would be willing to compete again...)
Here she is in all her glory...you have to watch to find out if we won the $10,000 prize. :) She is 100% chocolate. Can you believe it?!

Bethany! I haven't visited your blog since last semester (I'm still on school time:) and I am floored! I am so proud of you and the amazing things you've done recently. It was awesome to see your chocolate dress and Jessie Lyric walking the runway right next to it! Wow- Congrats and I love you and miss you all.

Bethany, I just linked to you in my post. When is this show airing? I know a lot of people will find this fascinating.
I just surfed across the blogosphere from Linda's at 2nd-cup-of-coffee. I spotted part of the Challenge last week. The Statue of Liberty is gorgeous. Will someone actually eat her????
