Valentines Amenity







This was an amenity we did for a valentines special. 

Blood Orange Milk Chocolate Torte






This is a Blood Orange Milk Chocolate torte. I came up with it for a VIP dinner. The torte is chocolate chiffon, milk chocolate ganache, milk chocolate mousse and blood orange mousse. The little savarin is blood orange mousse on a chocolate sucree base, with a milk chocolate ganache center. The theme of the dinner was stars, that is why there are lots of star components.
