Desserts

I finally had time to take some pictures at work. It has been so unbearably hot here that people just aren't eating as much, and we haven't done nearly as many desserts as usual.


This is our Chocolate Dome Cake. It has chocolate cake enclosing a chocolate mousse filling, covered with chocolate ganache. I serve it with an espresso anglaise sauce, and lots of fruit. We sell TONS of this cake.





Another extremely popular dessert is our Peach Crostata. It's a really simple dessert--just a buttery pastry crust, filled with sliced peaches. It's served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and I like to garnish it with peaches & raspberries.




Our Creme Brulee doesn't photograph well. I love this dessert. I think it's one of the best desserts we do.

This is a cake our chef adores. For some reason, it has never sold very well. Every time we put it on the menu, they try a new name for it, trying to get people to order it. This time, they have named it after our chef, calling it his favorite cake. Now, I sell out of it every night!

It is layers of vanilla genoise, with a white wine & sherry zabaglione filling, covered with meringue. I serve it with creme anglaise and fruit.

This week, we started selling a Caramel Fig Cheesecake. I made a yummy fig sauce to go with it, and I serve it with some brulee figs, and a few raspberries for color.

And here is a birthday platter I did tonight. I love making these.
