Plated dessert project

Today we did our final projects for Plated Dessert Design. After the sugar showpiece fiasco from Advanced Baking, I am relieved that my plated dessert was excellent!

I made a Spring Berry Napoleon. It has layers of puff pastry with a whipped cream cheese filling and berries. I used strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. The plate is garnished with berries and raspberry sauce.

Here's the side view.

And a view of the plate from the top.

Mmm...it tasted as good as it looks! The puff pastry was perfectly buttery and flaky, the filling was light and creamy, and the tart fruit and sauce were a perfect contrast.
