Plated desserts, anyone?

By now you've seen the cakes. You've seen wedding cakes! You've seen eclairs, chocolates and breads. But have you seen plated desserts?? Basically these are desserts that you would order in a restaurant rather than in a patisserie or other storefront. Here you go!

 This is a chocolate shell filled with vanilla ice cream.

Here, Cindy demonstrates how you pour the raspberry (framboise in French) sauce on top at the table. Super delicious.

This is another ice cream dish, but it includes pineapple (ananas in French) and the little liquid dropper at the back is filled with rum. So, when you get this at your table, you lift the dropper to spread the rum.

I got one all to myself! (OK, I shared ...)

This deliciousness basically tastes like an Oreo-cookie sundae. 

The dessert of the moment in France is the macaron. Here they have a regular macaron on top of a large macaron filled with cream and rum-dipped cherries.

This is another chocolate ball, filled (I believe) with strawberries or raspberries and covered in a beautiful shiny glaze.

A few of the others included tarts--mango, apple and lime (left to right).

Nice job!!
