Weddings by The Ritz-Carlton Volume 7 • Issue 1 January – June 2014 - (Page 51)

C lassic Symmetry Tradition is as tradition does. At The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal, Pastry Chef Laurent Allereau finds that tradition oft dictates classical wedding cakes - as in round tiers, pastel hues and a floral motif. The delicate qualities favored by many local brides and grooms take on a lively spirit in Allereau's hands, proving that traditional doesn't equate to tired. Beneath the cake's pale surface, the chef quietly pays homage to the local culture through his masterful use of the famed Kholas date, which is similarly characterized by a delicate sweetness. The dates are incorporated into the cake, which in turn is layered with almond paste, marmalade and ivory Valrhona ganache with bourbon vanilla. Floral flourishes, either real flora or of the sweet variety, lend a reserved yet exquisite vibrancy to the cake. A testament to tradition if ever there was one.
