Tha Bombe
Well it’s been ages since I’ve done a proper pastry. Seeing as how it’s Derby week I think it’s appropriate. I’ve had a few requests for some specific components that I can work into it. Specifically a shiny chocolate “lacquer” glaze from Japan that isn’t made of tempered chocolate but a far easier gelatin base. Some sort of chocolate bombe would be fun, I’m thinking. Any and all ideas for fillings/layers are welcome.
How about using speculaaspasta as a filling? I just discovered it at a local Dutch food store and it is delicious!
I’m going to have to look that up, Samantha! Is it some sort of spread like Nutella?
Thanks!

Very excited for this series! I saw a bombe cake in a bakery when I got back from Ghana, couldn’t resist, then promptly bought and ate it. and I think I almost gave myself diabetes. So good! It’s going to be an exciting week on this blog. 🙂
Ghana you say…
We need to talk about this.

that’s where i’ve been for the past three months, haha! remember me saying that I might actually need to utilize your tip about pulling on a lion’s uvula to escape it’s jowls? 🙂 It was an awesome trip, but I’m glad to be back. The first thing I wanted to do was bake something super sweet and eat all of it.
Ah yes, I do remember now, thought I don;t think you shared the destination. Welcome back!
