Pop of Color
If you know me, you’d know that I love UConn. And my grandfather’s art. So why not combine the two?
Once we can safely do so, Zest will be holding a Pop of Color event, with desserts with every color of the rainbow. 100% of the proceeds will go to Paul Zelanski Award of Excellence Fund at the UConn Foundation. How cool is that?
Since I love to plan, I have a menu all planned out. Sort of, it’s not official. I continue to come up with new ideas, so this list will continue to grow. But here you go!
- Charred lemon mousse with whipped blueberry Chantilly and light lemon sablé
- Dark chocolate, espresso, and amaretto spoon cakes
- Matchstick cookies
- Mondrian cake
- Pantone cookies
- Homage to Pa Paul apple pie – Greek yogurt pots de creme, spiced apple compote, cinnamon streusel, topped with a dehydrated apple slice
- Primary color macarons – lemon, vanilla bean, and raspberry chocolate options
“Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors—in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.”

Inspiration strikes people in different ways. For me, inspiration is simply doing the things I love and trying to spread kindness. I am eagerly waiting the day I can make this event happen, but for now, seek inspiration wherever you can!
