Guests enjoyed food stations prepared by Eight Hills Caterers, wine, beer, and the brand’s specialty cocktail AVE-tini, a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cart, and live DJ entertainment by Shughes Entertainment.
Lea Anne Welsh, COO of Korman Communities and president of AVE, presented a specialty cake created by Justina Cicalese, owner of Juicy’s Sweet Treats, that was a replica of the mid-rise, state-of-the-art rental community featuring one- and two-bedroom furnished suites and luxury apartments and more than 65,000 square feet of business and resort amenity space.
Cicalese worked on site three days to construct the chocolate-and-vanilla cake from scratch, featuring eight 18”x13” cakes, three gallons of Swiss meringue buttercream, and 15 pounds of fondant.
Welsh thanked development partners the Rockefeller Group, builders Sharp Management, Mayor Mark Taylor, and all the team members on site every day who are passionate about delivering an exceptional resident experience.
