Unexpected forms, greedy hearts and gestures to film. Choose the creation you want to bring back to New Year's Eve.

CHOOSE YOUR DESSERT

An original Christmas can fit in a cookie, a shape to share or an unexpected finish. This collection brings together recipes and varied montages in fourteen universes: choose a shape, a flavor and the surprise you want to create.

Style without losing sight of the recipe

The 140 creations start with Linzer shortbread, gingerbread, truffles, chocolate discs, spritz, cinnamon stars, coconut coconut clusters, kouglof, panettone and stollen. The images allow you to choose an atmosphere; the cards explain quantities, utensils and gestures. An original name never replaces reading the recipe.

For a first creation, favor a base that you know and a single idea of decor. Flat patterns, chocolate chips and icing lines are prepared with common equipment. Keep the decor edible, stable and compatible with the intended transport.

Gamer, geek, manga or pop culture

A cookie can evoke a joystick by its silhouette and some contrasting touches. A manga dessert is based on bold colors and a legible pattern. The pages of universes describe the adapted bases, the possible decorations and the recipes to start with.

If you prefer a pop culture log, the chocolate roll offers a finish with large squares like pixels. The biscuit and the garnish remain those of a real log: the theme appears in the decor, without asking for a sculpture or a hidden support.

A trompe-l'oeil or a fun dessert

The trompe-l'oeil is based on an easy-to-read evocation: an envelope, a simple object or a familiar shape. It does not need to be a perfect reproduction. Compare the image to the material and steps to choose a version within your reach, then prepare the decor on a flat surface when the sheet allows it.

To get out of the log format, the cookie-sapin is shared at the table and the red velvet offers a cake with two discs. The choice depends mainly on your time and the number of guests.

Questions Before You Start

Which original dessert to start with?

Start with a base that you master, like a shortbread cookie or a chocolate discs, and add a simple pattern. Check the list of materials before choosing only on the photo.

Do you need fondant for a pop culture decor?

Not necessarily. Many cards use chocolate, icing, fruit or the shape of the cookie. Follow the ingredients and techniques of the chosen recipe.

How to make dessert transportable?

Favors a low shape, a rigid dish and short decorations. Respect the cold storage of the recipe and adds fragile finishes on arrival when the sheet allows it.
