Chocolate Dome Cake Video
Summary:
This video shows Michel Richard bake a chocolate dome cake. The first thing he does is chop some chocolate off of a chocolate block and melt it. Then he started to make a dome shaped cake in a bowl. He made his own whipped cream in a machine. With things like four eggs salt and sugar. He poured that into his dome shaped cake bowl. He cooked that in around thirty five minutes. For decoration he dips leaves in chocolate and places them around the cake. He also sprinkles cocoa powder all over the cake. He also places raspberries to surround the cake. He places more leaves and raspberries on the top of the cake placed in a decorative pattern.
Response:
As Michel Richard bakes this chocolate dome cake which looks incredible he shows the artistic side of baking. There are precise artistic things that he did to make the cake taste and look amazing. If it was not for the newly discovered artistic side of baking this dome shaped cake would not have been possible. The video demonstrated that baking has been transformed from a simple square flat cake to being able to create a dome shaped cake. The raspberries and chocolate leaves probably were not a necessity of the cake but it did seam to complete the look of the design. This shows how baking has changed over time which contributes to my topic of how baking has developed over time.
