Every week, the show presented by Laetitia Milot continues to captivate its audience with creations that are as delicious as they are breathtaking. And the seventh episode of this week was no exception, thanks to the creations of two candidates in particular.

While the two jurors, Mercotte and Cyril Lignac, placed this new edition under the sign of illusion and trompe l'oeil, the talents of some of the participants were particularly highlighted. Among them, one candidate particularly shone by creating a trompe-l'oeil of incredible precision and beauty. This dessert caused a real excitement on social networks, but also on set. Whether it was the two jurors or the viewers, they were all unanimous on the creativity and reality of the cake.

The best pastry chef: trompe l'oeil hidden in the room

From the first test of this seventh episode, the candidates surpassed themselves to give the best of themselves. The challenge? Create a trompe l'oeil that the budding pastry chefs had to place under the tent in a natural way so that the two jurors, Mercotte and Cyril Lignac, could not identify them. Although they were not allowed to move to take a closer look, the two chefs took part in the game and enjoyed searching for the different cakes of the candidates.

While Laurène set out to create a particularly unsuccessful roll of kitchen towels, the logo The Best Pastry Chef of the youngest in the competition did not convince the jurors, whether in terms of trompe-l'oeil, but also in terms of taste. If Romain's green plant, Christelle's box of organic eggs and Benjamin's jar of flour were all praised by Cyril and Mercotte, two creations came out with flying colors: Tsiory's two drawers as well as the José's copper pot.

José's pot praised by Internet users and the jury

While the candidate declared at the start of the test that this type of exercise was not something he had mastered, he nevertheless came through with the jury's mentions. Trompe l'oeil is a challenge that requires perfect technical mastery and limitless imagination, which José succeeded perfectly. This week, he literally captivated Cyril Lignac, Mercotte and the spectators with an extraordinary creation: a copper pot paying tribute to his grandmother Lucillia, of Portuguese origin. “It's stunning“, then launched Cyril during the tasting before adding: “On the stove I didn't know with the reflections if it was true or not true. Honestly big-up».

This trompe-l'oeil pot was made up of a shiny chocolate shell that perfectly imitated copper, garnished with crispy Breton shortbread, a blood orange marmalade subtly spiced with cardamom, and a Milk chocolate whipped ganache seemed larger than life. As soon as the creation was discovered, Internet users expressed their admiration on social networks. “José's pot is crazy”, “José's pot is really the boss! », “José’s puree cake is incredible”or even “I would have eaten the flowers or the cactus because the pot is so well made»wrote Internet users on X (formerly Twitter).
