A New Valentine’s Day Weekend Event, Valentine’s Sweets Soirée with Dessert Dash
Our Chefs at the Crescent Hotel Valentine’s Day weekend a little sweeter with an afternoon of dessert demonstrations, tastings, chocolate treats, and a Dessert Dash to wrap it all up.
Join us for the Inaugural Valentine’s Sweets Soirée with Dessert Dash on February 15, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in the Crystal Ballroom. This dessert-forward afternoon includes live demonstrations from the Crescent Hotel’s culinary team, a chocolate fountain, and a Dessert Dash to wrap it all up.
Executive Chef Steve Barton will share a behind-the-scenes look at a featured dessert presentation and simple techniques that take classic sweets up a notch.
Pastry Chef Jordan Gresham will demonstrate vintage-style cake decorating and finishing details that make desserts look as good as they taste.
Beverage Manager Jared Martin will lead a mixology demonstration with a featured sparkling cocktail.
Best of all, attendees get to enjoy the results of the demonstrations.
As guests rotate through each presentation, they’ll get an up-close look at the techniques behind the sweets and drinks being created. After the demonstrations, the chocolate fountain opens, giving everyone time to snack before the Dessert Dash begins.
The Dessert Dash is the grand finale, where dashers will fill a takeaway sweets box with their favorites.
Tickets are $35 per person, with an optional $10 sweets box to participate in the dash. Attendance is limited to the first 125 guests, so booking early is recommended.
