The worlds of dance and dessert are set to collide this spring, as Macrina Bakery partners with Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB)<\/a>\u00a0for the Spring Spark \u2014 a whimsical fundraiser where creativity, community, and confections take center stage.<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

The Spring Spark<\/a>, a one-night event, will see the transformation of the Francia Russell Center into a fantastical culinary wonderland, where ballet dancers, local distilleries, and Seattle’s dessert virtuosos join forces to create never-before-tasted delicacies. Guests will have the pleasure of sampling and voting for their favorite desserts and signature cocktails.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Macrina’s baking team, including founder Leslie Mackie, Pastry Chef\u00a0Katarina Ducharme and Pastry Associate Manager\u00a0Sam Stout, has partnered with PNB star Lucien Postlewaite<\/a>, who is <\/span>nearly as<\/span> passionate about the culinary arts as he is about the stage. \u201cLucien has a world-traveler’s knowledge of pastries, and we had inspiring conversations about his favorite pastries in Paris and Spain,\u201d Leslie says. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to collaborate with him, and I can\u2019t wait for the world premiere of our dessert.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lucien says, \u201cI see food as I see ballet \u2014 an opportunity to layer sensation, emotion, flavor, texture, and beyond. <\/span>I’m<\/span> thrilled by the opportunity to work hand in hand with Leslie and the Macrina team to craft a dessert that dances on the palate.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As May 6 fast approaches, Sam has taken the lead. \u201cWhen you get people in a conversation about food and you can tell they’re really passionate about flavors and profiles and mouthfeel and the experience of a well-made dish or dessert, that’s when it really gets fun. Lucien has quite the palate and many great ideas.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The collaboration has been nothing short of sweet as Sam, Leslie, Katarina and Lucien work to get everything just right, work through a final dress rehearsal, and, at last, the big-stage performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, in this playful competition in which there are only winners, let us not forget the other enchanting collaborations: Destiny Wimpye is paired with Bell\u2019s Cookie Co, Cecilia Iliesiu with Lady Yum, and James Kirby Rogers with former PNB dancer Kari Brunson’s Frankie & Jo’s. And as a palate cleanser between bites of divine confections, guests can indulge in the savory culinary creations of James Beard-nominated chef Melissa Miranda of Musang.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Come join us for the love of community, for the tantalizing food and drinks, and to support the electric magic PNB brings to our lives. Order your tickets for the <\/span>Spring Spark here<\/span><\/a> and ignite your passion for dance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
