Thanks very much to everyone who helped out. I’m pleased to say that not only did you collectively help the young chocolatier win the social media prize by a large margin, but she finished third in the overall competition on her own merits. Below you can see her complete entry, which consisted of various technical challenges, including a pastry, a cake, and a sculpture. My personal favorite was the choux au cappucino, although the champion’s praline de Cointreau was truly exceptional.
The best thing about the competition? At the end, everyone attending is not only invited to partake in an aperitivo and a vast table of hors d'oeuvres, but is actually encouraged to sample all of the various contestants’ entries! I had no idea. It was unbelievable. Forget the Grammys, the Emmys, and the Super Bowl, this is the greatest competition in the world.
Do those Tortellettes have mohawks???
If they taste as delicious as they look good, she's the best!
