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.
