Scholarship Winners
We love to get updates from our scholarship winners.
Apelles used her scholarship money to go to California to do an intensive course study in sugar arts. She came back to the Estes Arts District board with a presentation and brought samples of her artwork to show us her new skills.
"Had an amazing time in CA with Jacqueline Butler of Petalsweet, learning sugar flowers for wedding cakes." Apelles Apelles is working towards a full time business with her Desserts. Find her at CocoNilla Desserts on Facebook. 
Apelles Morales brings sugar flowers to the board.
