Broadway's SIDE SHOW Inspires New 'Street Show' Desserts on Cooking Channel

The completely reimagined revival of SIDE SHOW opened Monday night, November 17, at the St. James Theatre (246 West 44th Street). Side Show is inspired by the remarkable true story of the Hilton twins, Daisy and Violet, who were LEGENDS in their time and the highest paid performers on the vaudeville circuit. Side Show is their heartwarming search for first love and acceptance amidst the spectacle of fame and scrutiny under the spotlight.

To celebrate its opening, Cooking Channel teamed up with Zac Young, resident Musical Maestro of Sweets and Executive Pastry Chef at David Burke Fabrick, to create a Sweet Show to match the grandeur of the twins' incredible Freak Show.

Cooking Channel blogger Kevin Bender describes the dessserts as "Exotic and enticing, playful and full of passion, these recipes - cleverly named for big Side Show numbers - are sure to stop the show at your next holiday gathering. And just like the Hiton twins, what makes these dessert recipes just a little different is what makes them extraordinary."
