Marshmallow strawberry parfait with passionfruit chocolate, blueberries and Tequila Rose

After rain, comes sunshine, and after a rather interesting 'main' course, comes the dessert- (thank GOD) ...

Notice the book in the background, it is my new kitchen Guru! Written by Anne Willan (founder of Ecole de Cuisine, La Varenne, Paris) it is everything a culinary devotee could ever ask for. Thank you my darling!

This light marshmallow delight, with tastes of summer, is dedicated to my beauties Kaca & Maggie.

Don't leave out the Tequila Rose! It brings a aromatic, rosy blush to the dessert. 

Big thanks to my girls for a wonderful and inspiring week-end!

The Decoration

I named this creation "the Carribean dream" because of the gorgeous tropical colours of the cake. I originally wanted a fruity, light and creamy texture to it. That's why I decided on a hazelnut daqouise for the base, vanilla cream for the filling and finally; bailey's infused cream to cover the cake...

.

For the decoration I used a light powder- whipped topping cream, 
along with a assortment of fruits (persimon, strawberries & red currant).

The Cakes with capital C:s

I think that I kind of outdid myself with this one =)

Not to mention the full spread of small desserts (thanks to mum)!

...starting off with the main cake 
that was made with every intention to resemble the wonder of summer...

moving on to the Petit chocolate cakes with rich vanilla filling and chocolate ganache

Sweet puff pastry baked with homemade plum marmelade

La piece de résistance: the hazelnut, vanilla, Bailey's and exotic fruit constellation of
the "Carribean dream Cake".
