Berries and Chocolate


Back at 'Worl Bon Bon' for afternoon tea. My cake is the one in the background... layers of rich chocolate, sandwiched together with caramel and a tart strawberry coulis, topped with a whole fresh strawberry on a circle of piped fresh cream, and accessorised with a brittle chocolate filigree fan. 

My friend's cake, in the foreground, had a vanilla custard filling, underneath which was hidden an unexpected layer of mouth-pursing, beautifully acidic raspberry sauce. 


While the cakes at 'Worl Bon Bon' ALWAYS look great, and are very artfully presented, the flavour is often disappointing, since it is sometimes not on a par with the appearance of the cake itself. 
On this occasion, the tanginess of the berry coulis, in each case, was a welcome surprise.
