 Sara Figueiredos is the executive pastry chef at the Aspen Meadows Resort.  Her journey to the West Meadows has been a global one, with stops in Singapore, Thailand and beyond.

Figueiredo will get Sunday’s festivities going with a “Frozen Dessert Workshop” at Aspen Meadows (10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) in which she will teach the science of crafting frozen treats including semifreddos, ice creams and sorbets.

From October 17-19, Aspen will transform into a haven for pastry enthusiasts.
