International Patisserie Grand Prix Japan 2009........

After coming in 4th place in the Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie 2009, Japan is looking to take center stage in its own sponsored International Patisserie Grand Prix which is taking place right now in Tokyo, Japan. It will be interesting to see who will come on top. 日本がんばれ！

マカロン。。。。。。

ショコラ、コーヒ、マンゴーマカロン

Chocolate, coffee, mango

苺、パションフルーツ、ショコラマカロン

Strawberry, lilikoi(passion fruit), and chocolate

***

We pretty much stick to the basic flavors, yet, try to include tropical flavors as well. I can think of more wild flavors such as a strawberry-balsamic or how about an apple-celery macaron? Yet, considering our customer base.............I am pretty sure that they would not sell.

Mango Trifle................

Mango cremeux layered with genoise, mango chunks, mango gelee' and topped with fresh raspberries and fresh creme chantilly.

Dulce de Leche Brownie............................

Americana at its finest. This is so gooooood! Oozing pockets of dulche de leche cream inside moist and fudgy brownie. Here, I topped it with ganache and a thin chocolate sheet.

For the Dulche de Leche cream open cans of sweet condensed milk, place in a container, wrap with foil and place in a bain marie and bake for 1 1/2 hour at 400 deg. F.. Cool, transfer to container, refrigerate. To use, leave out at room temperature or microvave at 15 sec. intervals until soft.
