LEMON Shaped Dessert - Recipe by Cedric Grolet
Cedric Grolet is one of the most well-known pastry chefs around the world, also entitled the best pastry chef of the world last year. His view of desserts is different than what we are used to in pastry and although the taste is important to him as well, what impresses is for sure the design of his desserts.
He is the one who took the idea of fruit desserts a step forward and created cakes that actually look like the fruit they represent, but they are not only fruits. They are complex pieces containing sponges, ganaches, mousses and various glazes. I find them to be more technical than any dessert I have made before, even though the taste shines as well, relying more on the natural flavor of the fruit, and less on sugar.
