Chocolate and Raspberry ,hazelnut slice
This is a very decadent dessert . It has a hazelnut daquoise base(a meringue with ground hazelnuts folded in and baked until light and crispy). The base then has a dark chocolate cream chantilly piped on top with fresh raspberries another layer of chocolate chantilly and finally topped off with a dark chocolate plaque. Chocolate and raspberries are a great pairing and this makes a wonderful dessert for a special occasion or in this case for a customer who ordered for a New Years Eve party.
Desserts for a New Years Eve Party
Here are some desserts I made for an order for New Years Eve party. From the left hand side is a Chocolate Raspberry Hazelnut slice, opera cake and selection of cookies.
Opera Cake
Here is the opera cake I amde recently,which I cut into petit four size which is perfect for a buffet at a Wedding , Anniversary or other special event. The opera cake is made up of layers of a light coffee flavoured buttercream, dark chocolate ganache , between each layer is a thin layer of almond biscuit which is soaked in a coffee syrup. All this gives a perfect combination of a coffee and chocolate dessert which is a perfect combination.

Wedding cake filled with gumpaste flowers
This Wedding cake was a 5 tier cake with Vanilla and chocolate cake. I made all the flowers out of gumpaste and added pastel Pink, Yellow and Green to contrast against the white fodant and white royal icing piping. The individual cakes were covered in fondant and then hand painted on top with the Bride and Grooms initials, in edible Gold. Each wedding guest had a wedding cake favor to take home.
The Wedding was held last Sunday 21st December at the beautiful Deering Estate which looked absolutely magical as night fell upon the festivities.
Gingerbread house
I thought this year I would make a gingerbread house with a slight difference and make it into a homely looking bakery with two marzipan chefs outside. I still used lots of candy to give it a colorful effect.
