Trésor Vanille-Fraises de Bois

Trésor Vanille-Fraises de Bois translates to "Vanilla-Wild Strawberry Treasure"..
and I can't think of a better name for this opulent cake.


This for me, has to be the best lookin' cake we've done thus far in 
Pâtisserie Intermédiaire at Le Cordon Bleu.


 I hypothesize that the "treasure" part of its name refers to 
the mound of wild strawberry mousse, 
which is hidden under a layer of caramelized "crème chiboust".
Crème chiboust - as invented by Chef Chiboust; 
is crème pâtissière lightened by meringue.


All these sweet goodness has been put together over a bed of 
sweet, cracked almond dacquoise. Glazed, and decorated with red berries.


Here's a peek inside...


This is all I'm having I promise.
(The bathroom scale did not bear good news this morning.)


But really.. with a cake like this.. 
How could I not have helped myself...?!

Cooking school.. everyday a battle with my conscience.
