1) the final product … looks – 8; taste – 10
… So, what do you expect of two gays lads trying to pipe straight lines with cake batter?
I’ve a whole new appreciation for pastry chefs, and more so, the cost (sometimes) charged for fancy-pansy desserts like a Bavaroise or Bavarian cream. G and I made these this week. It took two nights and too many hours. The Bavariose is the lemon, poppy seed, cream filling spooned into the very yummy cakes.
The white sponge cake had Contireau flavouring; the chocolate sponge cake we flavoured with Kirsch.

that looks impressive… and like way too much work. they must have tasted all the better for having labored over them for so long, though.
Yeah, that looks like a whole lot of effort!
Look lovely and delicious. I am not sure I would be patient enough to make it- eat it yes
