French pancake- dacquoise darling by Hirai Hironobu


Sunny

Though this is not the season of the Valentine's, {the cherry blossom's}, but I am still overwhelmed with choices. {How can this be?} Coveted by roses, the pink. Oh so rosy. The [sakura] macaron, [sakura] madeleine, [sakura] loaf cake or [sakura] daquise? Sweet sakura selections from Ichiban Sushi and Ichiban Boshi this April. 



Macaron is the mooring submarine as we know, to be settled if we can track any. Madeleines are French sponge cakes, rich butter and vanilla batter, archetypally scalloped-shape and shell depression-forked. Loaf cakes are typically the Eastern European pound cakes, a sweet tea bread not necessarily indulgent or restricted in ranges. Dacquoise? It is a cake of meringue layers, sandwiched with buttercream.


Sakura Daquise (SGD 2.80)

Yes. Hotcake, griddlecake, or flapjack which never fails to highlight a trunch, the messy, organic fix; slathered over which makes you feel honoured a king. The sakura was sakura (cherry blossoms) seeping into the buttercream. Sakura seems to complement with the nutty qualities of almond and hazelnut, having been paired by pastry chefs in French desserts.

P.S. A year ago no it was months ago; the torch which you are carrying fanning into that blossoming colour, eclipsing silhouette too. Feeding the emotion. However it will be the uncommon rose, sakura, of all an exalted breath from the earthy tips of the birch tree. Conferring the pink to you.
