Gateaux Pt. 2

More sponge cakes... My Chocolate Hazelnut Torte with hazelnut praline buttercream. We get to decide how we'd like to decorate our cakes today- so i went for modern and simple with choc decor and toasted hazelnuts.


Some of the cakes churned out by the class:

Mary Vetsera Gateaux. Mary Vetsera was the mistress of the Crown Prince of Austria, and both were found killed under mysterious circumstances... OOoh the scandal! But anyhoo, back to the cake: Layers of dacqoise (nut meringue) between layers of Cointreau Ganache and covered in crushed nougatine/croquant.

Concorde Gateaux: Chocolate Walnut sponge sandwiched between Kahlua Ganache and decorated with chocolate meringue fingers.
