The candy countdown has begun!

A world of mouth-watering treats and sweet delights is just around the corner as the SA Sweet and Snack Expo gears up to tantalise Jozi’s taste-buds this weekend. Everything indulgent and delicious will be gathered under the Coca Cola Dome from the 11th to the 13th of April 2014, and it promises to be a luscious confection of creative competitions, scrumptious snacks for sale and even the excitement of two world record attempts

Expo-goers can browse the exhibitors’ stalls for a selection of chocolates, fudge, candy, ice-cream and much more, just in time for Easter. There is something for everyone, even those without a sweet tooth, as there will be plenty of savoury snacks available too. The chef’s inn and theatre are open to enjoy at no additional charge, and fascinating demonstrations will be held – a must for anyone who wants to learn more about the art and skill of cooking and baking. There are plenty of competitions throughout the weekend, which will give aspiring edible artists the opportunity to showcase their ability to whip up magnificent masterpieces made out of sugar, chocolate, cakes and cupcakes. There will also be a fun celebrity challenge where the audience is the judge! Adding to the thrill is the two world record attempts by Chef Nicolas D. van der Walt, the young pastry chef at the FBI Chef School and Patisserie Academy and patisseire extraordinaire. He has created the world’s largest edible painting, and will be replicating it as the world’s smallest edible painting, a tiny rice-grain sized artwork.

The SA Sweet and Snack Expo is the perfect combination of sweet and snack trends, local and international exhibitors of every flavour and plenty of fun and entertainment all under one roof. For more information or to purchase tickets go to http://www.thesweetcandyfair.co.za/visitors.php
