DAILY SHOW DEMONSTRATIONS FOR 2011: Conducted by Celebrity Edible Art Stars Darci Rochau and Karen Portaleo DARCI ROCHAU You may not have heard of Darci Rochau, but she is a treasure who needed to surface. She is an extremely talented artist who has a ton to share. She will surprise you with her attention to detail, expertise, artistic style, and design work. She has created some of the most technically pleasing work on FNTV Challenge — and she has won! Born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, Darci studied at New York’s highly regarded Culinary Institute of America from which she earned a degree in baking and pastry arts. Directly after school, she lived in Las Vegas and worked at Le Cirque and Coyote Café. KAREN PORTALEO Make no mistake about the incredible talent of Karen Portaleo (who will be assisted by Joshua John Russell). She does not pretend to bake, she is all about decorating and finishing, and oh what a finish it is! In one word spectacular. Karen has a BFA from Atlanta’s College of Fine Art; she has designed in clay for the Ferrin Gallery, made cakes for Elton John and The Real Housewives of Atlanta show and worked as a prop and set designer for print advertisements — it wasn’t such a stretch to move into sugar art and so far she is one of the most impressive new faces on the horizon. 12 · BAKING BUYER · SEPTEMBER 11
