Vanilla bavarin is placed inside the mould up to halfway, then with a spatula some is spread on the edges of the mould.

ABOUT Alexandre Bourdeaux:
Following my inspiring passion, I started my training as a pastry chef at an early age. After graduating from the pastry and chocolate school in Brussels, I started to gain experience, which gave me a broader vision of the pastry world.
When I was 20, I moved to Italy and, after a few years, I had the opportunity to join Sergio Mei's team at the Four Seasons Hotel in Milan. I then started travelling around the world and continued to gain new experience, working as a pastry chef in luxury hotels in Cairo, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom. Over the years, thanks to my collaboration with Barry Callebaut, I studied and deepened the technology and chemistry of chocolate.
I started teaching all over the world and realised that this would be my future. In 2016 my company ‘Pastry & chocadvice’ was born. As the name suggests, my mission is to offer advice and solutions in the world of pastry and chocolate, sharing my knowledge and techniques. In a nutshell: I do what I love.
