Far from rustic, these visually spectacular, intricate cakes feature complex textures and exquisite flavors. This workshop focuses on the composition of mousse, methods for making mousse, ingredient functionality in relation to mousses, and entremets conceptualization and design. In addition, students learn to make and use inserts, temper chocolate for basic décor, and gain familiarity with glazes, chocolate sprays, and other advanced décor elements and techniques. Finished products include Lemon Blackberry, Chocolate Risotto, Mint Chocolate, and Whiskey Hazelnut mousse cakes, as well as Fresh Fruit Charlotte. Use this class to make any of the elegant, sophisticated, and contemporary pastries that grace the windows of the top pâtisseries around the world.
