Fantasia by Escribà: Singapore plays host to world’s first confectionery dream world

Those with a sweet tooth should sit up – you’d be glad to hear there’s fantasy coming to town, just for you.

How would it feel to transport yourself into an environment similar to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Will you dive right into the chocolate river or have a taste of the bubblegum flavoured fruits? Whichever it is, now you can delve into a surreal confectionery dream world with Fantasia by Escribà!

The brains and skills behind this concept are the internationally renowned pastry chef, Christian Escribà and his wife, Patricia Schmidt. Conceptualized in Brazil and set to make its worldwide debut in Singapore, Fantasia by Escribà is a huge production of live theatrical performances and mouth watering confectionery pieces in various shapes and sizes.

To make the deal sweeter, the concept encourages audience participation whether interacting with actors or taking part in chocolate, sugar fondant, caramel and pastry master classes.

While the 8,000 sqm venue will be divided into 8 pavilions, each with a specific theme, we’re particularly excited about the entrance that will see candy floss clouds and a 2 metre high full moon with blinking eyes – made out of confectionery of course.

Another room fashion lovers would squeal at would be the Escribà Luxury Boutique filled with couture chocolate-made high heels and caramel rings. Edible couture? Oh yes, consider our fantasies coming to life! What’s even better is that you will be able to purchase some of these items at the exhibition shop to take home with you. Call it a different kind of retail therapy.

As our mouths have begun to water and before we get our keyboard covered in drool, we’re going to grab ourselves a cupcake…or two. This is a sweet event we won’t be missing!

Fantasia by Escribà will run from  22 to 24 August 2014 at Marina Bay Sands (Halls D & E). For more details about ticketing please visit http://www.fantasiaescriba.com
