French Cakes
French cakes are very different than what we usually make in the USA - they are more often much lighter, made with fluffy layers of cake or cookie-like “biscuits” such as génoise, joconde, daquoise or cuillère, and usually contain creams that are lightened (in texture, not in calories) by whipped cream or egg white, and stabilized with gelatin.

Exotique fruit Pavlova
opera
Have you ever went a long concert or theatre production and became a bit tired and sleepy halfway through? The Opera cake was invented just for that reason, in 1960 by the famous French Pastry Chef Gaston LeNôtre and is a cake of thin layers of espresso infused joconde cake, chocolate ganache and coffee buttercream. Just one bite and you will wake up and say “Ooo-la-la”!
In this class we will also make a pavlova, a light, crispy meringue filled with mascarpone chantilly cream and exotic fruit such as mango, passion fruit and pineapple.
