Hi All - a little late posting, but here are a few snaps from the LV trip. Phone space issues meant I couldn't take all the pics I wanted to (until I figured out that deleting apps lets you take more). 
Jean-Philippe Patisserie chocolate clamshell waterfall:
Payard at Ceasars Palace:
Jin showing us some cool techniques to make decor:
Jin's chocolate cigarettes - the thinnest I've ever seen. Such great technique!
Obligatory food shot of vegetarian red curry from Lotus of Siam:
Melissa Coppel's demo yielded this beauty (as others have also mentioned, her Atelier is the cleanest, neatest, and most well-organized workspace I've ever seen):
Jean-Marie Auboine's nougat all wrapped up:
I don't have any pics from the meal at Bouchon (which was amazing), but here's the Chili Relleno at Mesa Grill - very yummy:
High Roller Wheel at the Linq hotel:
View from the pod, a very smooth ride:
This was my first time attending and it was a great trip! Such a friendly and talented group of folks, new techniques to learn, and new chocolatey friends made for a really fun experience. Hope to see you all next year!
