Optical illusions and trompe l'oeil on the program Best pastry chef 2024 !
During the creative test, Cyril Lignac put pressure on the candidates since they had to reproduce in pastry an object present in the tent. Benjamin made a pot of flour, while Romain had a green thumb by reproducing a plant. Christelle reproduced a carton of eggs. Once the event was over, they arranged their incredible cakes in the tent decor. It’s up to Cyril Lignac and Mercotte to find them! Minutes of research later, they admitted to being amazed. But after tasting, the paper towel roll and the logo of the Best Pastry Chef of Timothy did not convince. José's saucepan and Tsiory's drawers are Top! For the technical challenge, they have a visit from chef Kevin Ollivier who asked them to make a cake with a pastillage that will give an optical illusion. All accompanied by a mechanism. Two hours of coaling later, the seven amateurs did not really offer what the jury was hoping for. Thus, Romain found himself at the bottom of the ranking. Timothée is on the first step of the podium and Benjamin on the second.
Who is eliminated from Best pastry chef at the end of the bonus on Thursday, November 21?
For the last stage of the evening, they offered the jury some trompe-l'oeil fruit. Seven golden cupcakes were up for grabs, provided you made a better cake than today's guest, Thibaut Lefils, finalist of season 12. Coconut, passion fruit, banana, strawberry, or even mangosteen and fruit of the dragon… the pastry chefs were very creative! However, no one did better than Thibaut's grenade. Laurène having come closer, she wins the Golden Cupcake. After deliberation, Tsiori took the blue apron and Romain was eliminated. In the second part of the evening, he found Jennifer with Noëmie Honiat and Mohamed Belkassam. To stay with the theme of the week, Romain and Jennifer had to make the pastry of their choice, but which, taste-wise, was completely different. A major challenge! Romain's nuns which tasted like black forest were not enough to overtake Jennifer and her cannelés which were in reality strawberries. He therefore definitively left the competition.
