Delicious Designs

Delicious Designs is a Colorado Architecture Month program that celebrates architecture through dessert during the month of April. The Colorado component of The American Institute of Architects (AIA Colorado) pairs up several Colorado architects and chefs to create Delicious Designs, a limited-time offering of desserts inspired by architecture throughout the state. The program is designed to draw attention to the importance of architecture and its effect on our everyday lives. Architecture has an impact on where you live, work, play...and even eat!
