Show Time
-Pear and Kumquat Mousse with Chocolate Sauce, Coconut Loveletters, Cirrus Cheese and Kumquat Cocktail-
The world of drama and pastry are very much alike. In a recipe or a play there are ingredients/actors, method/plot, and an audience. In both worlds props, costumes, sound and lighting all contribute into the audience’s perception and enjoyment. The show begins with Kumquat sauce leading to an explosion, where pear mousse is revealed. Chocolate sauce gives the mousse a unexpected twist. Cirrus, a local camembert cheese from Mt. Townsend Creamery creates a turning point as it mirrors the mousse’s creaminess. The performance is wrapped up with a kumquat cocktail, made with homemade rice wine.

Passion…fruit and Pomelo flower unveils itself in black tea ganache after the dark chocolate and melts away leaving a lasting impression.
