Trending - Spheres

A few years ago with the advent of half sphere shaped moulds from companies such as Pavoni and Demarle, we all, pastry chefs, found perfection in the smoothness of mousses in a dome shape.

Thankfully someone took the concept further in the chocolate world and created spherical shaped moulds and perfect half spheres which could be joined together to create the perfect circle or ball or sphere.

The sphere by itself could be said to be a little boring, yet the beauty of serving a dessert that is shaped like a beach ball on a pile of sand , is that it enraptures everything that is beautiful of my trade.
An innocent perfect shaped ball sits on a delicious pile of soil like deliciousness and within its perfection of shape and chocolatey goodness, lay the possibilities of all our childhoods combined. Sweet deliciousness at its best.

Spheres make for great decorations, especially around this time of year , Christmas, but it is the possibilities of them as mediums in which to serve dessert that entice me the most.
See what you think from the latest desserts conceptualized by the pastry team @ The Peninsula Hotel Manila...Enjoy
Christmas Decorations in Chocolate begin to take shape, the sphere assisting that effort so well at this time of year

PENINSULA BOUTIQUE dessert for the festive season...perfection well rounded.

Even for Amenities, the sphere encapsulate perfectly


Whether complete or slightly melted, the sphere makes for perfect desserts
When a dessert looks this perfect why the need for much garnish and sauces, everything is held within its own perfect shape. Strawberries and cream never looked so good.

PECAN PIE....never looked so good
