Individual Production Pastries

During my first year at the CIA we took a class on individual serving desserts, or petit gateaux. Here are some photos of what we did:

french citrus tarts

opera torte

chocolate mousse with a creme brulee, hazelnut daquoise, and craqulin inserts. garnished with a shiny glaze, chocolate cigarettes, and a chocolate covered hazelnut

black forest petit gateaux

pavlova: lemon curd and raspberry in meringue

cheesecake

one of the products for our final group project: mint chocolate chip tartlettes

and the other: neopolitan petit gateaux
we went with an ice cream shop theme…can you tell?
