The Inn and Spa at Loretto, managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts, announces its Executive Pastry Chef Andrea Clover will compete on Sugar Dome, a new food competition series on the Food Network. Clover will compete on the show’s season premiere airing on the Food Network on January 20, 2013 at 6 pm MST.

Sugar Dome is a battle royale in food competition, pairing artists from different disciplines into unconventional teams challenged with creating dazzling masterpieces of food art. Three teams of three battle it out in a themed challenge vying for the championship title and the show’s grand prize of $15,000.

“Chef Clover is an extremely talented and innovative chef,” said Dana Ortega, Marketing Director at The Inn and Spa at Loretto. “Her creativity and passion ensures that desserts at Luminaria are memorable, making every meal end on a beautifully sweet note. We are excited about her upcoming competition on Sugar Dome and wish her luck in her latest edible art creations.”

The Inn and Spa at Loretto invites all locals and hotel guests to join in the Living Room Bar from 5:00pm-7:00pm on Sunday January 20th to cheer Chef Clover on and watch the show live on two screens.

Chef Clover will be on site offering complimentary mini pastries and will do a brief pastry demo from 5:30-6:00pm.

Guests can enjoy the daily Happy Hour and a half beverage pricing from 5:00-6:30pm. Guests are encouraged to dine in Luminaria after the show and receive a complimentary dessert that evening from Chef Clover.

Trained at Le Cordon Bleu, Clover joined The Inn and Spa at Loretto as Executive Pastry Chef in the spring of 2009. Her award-winning career includes two first-place wins in the annual Chocolate Fantasy Chocolatier Competition for her chocolate sculptures. Clover also won the Annual Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner benefit for her chocolate dipped elder flower panna cotta, red chile raspberry compote, and blueberry foam sugar, and she took first place in the 2007 Girl Scout Cookie Caper for her Girl Scout cookie flower creations of chocolate and sugar. The General Manager of the World Pastry Competition suggested Clover audition for Sugar Dome and introduced her to the producers in Las Vegas saying, “She is your next big star.”
