Red Raspberries, White Roses

Raspberries are of abundance this summer season in Paris. These tart red fruits, along with other antioxidant rich berries cover the counters from street markets to pastry shops, looking ever so plump and enticing. I thought it would be a dear shame for me not to exploit their blatant availability and obnoxious corpulence to make something sweet and exquisite. It would also provide the perfect excuse for me to test-drive my new half-sphere silicon cake mould.

If strawberries go with cream, what do raspberries go with…?
White chocolate of course!
So I decided to pair the tartness of the raspberries with the sweet richness of white chocolate bavarian cream. But just to be a little different, I added a little rose water into the mousse for a subtle floral note and lightness.

I shall name this cake

Retro Red Raspberry
Raspberry and Rose Rock
Red Raspberries, White Roses
Raspberry and Rose Romance
Ruby Raspberry
Raspberry Rose Rush

Mmm..
But don't you think all foods sound more delicious in French..?

  12. Is it necessary to keep these cakes in fridge.
    Am staying in Dubai and here we have a humid climate (45- 50 degree sometimes). I have an outdoor party next week and I want to make this CAKE.

  38. We bring to you Pubg Lite Mod Apk now, with this you can download the game from Google Play Store.The graphics in PUBG mobile are excellent and so is the gameplay. If you played PC version of PUBG, then you will surely miss the graphics here but all things considered, it's a pretty good port. The control options are very limited right now: there is only tilt and touch available for moving. I think there's an ADS support in console versions but it’s not on mobile yet. Pubg Lite Mod Apk
