Opera Cake
I created this for the fine dining room at the Club. Opera cake (gateau l’Opera) is a very traditional Parisian cake, named for the Opéra national de Paris, and been a known pastry since sometime in the late 1700′s, when chocolate was introduced to France.
Almond cake soaked with espresso syrup, layered with coffee butter cream and chocolate ganache, garnished with gold flakes.
