Bea, my apologies. As an artist, I get protective of creativity. When I see beautiful works of art like this – and I see people who take credit for other peoples work – I get immediately defensive. I have to tell you – I completely admire what you do with food. It is such a beautiful art form, and you get to immediately see the enjoyment of your hard work. I recognized this dessert right away since I have seen this image on some sites. I honestly cannot recall the ones i have seen it on – but how flattering to know people admire your work that much.

Marie,

I would actually love to know the sites you are referring to since I am not only the one who made the dessert, but it was photographed in my home, with my friends by myself too. There are people who unfortunately use pictures without permission. You can check this dessert here too, very similar to this one, as a matter of fact.

Hey sorry to be the brat here – but unless you are the one who had this picture published in all the sites I’ve seen it on… I’d like to hear how you made this to prove that you did in fact make it. Because I also saw on the sites that it was side marked as photographed by … ” ” so I also find it hard to believe that you took this as a snapshot before it went out to your dinner guests. Again I hate to be the annoying one – just want people to give credit to the people who actually made and photographed this dessert.

Thanks Sandi.

Rose, it is corn syrup with cocoa nibs, melted in the oven and getting harder when it cools.

Hi Bea, your cake looks delicious, comme toujours d’ailleurs, but what is the transparent piece that you have on top?

Ingrid, merci bien!

Ximena, thank you! Ahah, glued to the TV? I wish I could have seen that part!

David, oh yes, I would tend to agree, I prefer the Césars as well. Just cannot get to see them at all here! But if I could, I would not miss them!

/br>
Jacqueline, well I never tried, I would tend to believe that if you can at least use 2%, it will help with the texture of the mousse. But you know, you just have to try to know for sure. And if you do, let me know!
