General Manager came to me at 6, just as we were starting service and told me he needed a birthday cake for a VIP party of 16 sitting at 8pm. VIP was a friend of the chef’s and apparently a contestant on Top Chef so I wasn’t allowed to use my ” in the freezer on the fly back up cake(s)” for events such as these…. so I pulled this together in an hour and a half…
Layered cake: Chocolate sponge, roasted pistachio mouse, Alba truffle, ricotta cream and salted chocolate glaze.
