This Thursday, November 21, 2024, the Best Pastry Chef honors trompe l'oeil! A very popular trend in many pastries! A challenge to take on between a few falls…
After a special Halloween week and an episode on the theme of all chocolate, time for a brand new theme in The Best Pastry Chef. This Thursday, November 21, 2024, amateur pastry chefs are back to create magnificent trompe l'oeil! Benjamin, who owns the blue apron, has decided that he would give everything to try to keep it… But he will face Christelle, ready to do anything to honor the women of the show by trying to take it back from her competitor.
When the tent becomes a trompe-l'oeil
To begin the creative test, the seven candidates still in the running must create a trompe-l'oeil drawing inspiration from the tent… Egg box, flour pot, food, dishes, there is no shortage of ideas but the pastries will have to be larger than life. Enough to give a hard time to the apprentice pastry chefs who seemed to particularly dread this ordeal. Another difficulty: their mission was to hide their cakes in the tent so that Cyril and Mercotte would go on a treasure hunt to discover where the trompe-l'oeils were…
Drawer, pot, logo, egg carton, paper towel, flower pot, flour pot, all the trompe l'oeil pieces were more impressive than each other. In front of the drawers of a Tsiory cupboard, Mercotte was in shock. “This guy is crazy,” she laughed at the perfection of the production. Test completed and validated for everyone. Tsiory and José received the congratulations of Cyril and Mercote, while Thimothée and Laurène failed to amaze them. And Benjamin subsequently tried everything to attract attention…
Benjamin loses his balance
After this first event, it was Kevin Ollivier, bronze medalist at the trompe l'oeil world cup, who gave a hard time with a sumptuous cake with an illusion at the heart of the pastry… Thanks to a careful mechanism. The tension was therefore particularly high, especially for Benjamin who lost it! Indeed, while he was running under the tent, he fell forward and caught himself by rolling. Something to amuse viewers: “Benji he landed on his feet”laughs one of them. While another does not “don’t put it back”others are overwhelmed by the way he caught up. “But wait, Benjamin rolled!”. A pro from waterfalls.
