Why Martha Stewart and Bobby Flay are Crafting Colorful Candy Mosaics
The Sweet 16 celebration that brought them together.
Published On
Dylan’s Candy Bar, the kaleidoscope-colored candy emporium, turns sixteen this year. To celebrate, they’re throwing themselves a Sweet 16 and inviting a varied group of celebrities to design candy-covered mosaics. The results are delightful—and seem delicious.
Stars like Martha Stewart, Bobby Flay, Gayle King, and Julianne Moore are just some of the twenty plus participants who created custom canvases out of the store's many edible options. Each mosaic will be auctioned off, with full sales donated to the respective celebrity’s chosen charity. Interested bidders should know that the auction runs until November 10. Personally, I’ve got my eye on Whoopi Goldberg’s sweet self portrait, or Katie Couric’s rendition of Rosie the Riveter. Head here to view the works. You can even bid on line should you be so inclined.
