French Whisky, Cream, Honey, Almond Spiced Sable, Almond Crispy Crepes, Apricot and Mascarpone. Probably one of Mad About Sucre's most intricate cakes available, for its made up of more components than usual for their collection of cakes. Part of their Winter collection released today — it's incredible how they made this entirely from scratch; the French Whiskey brewed by themselves just for the cake. Featuring a yogurt mousse, the creation of the mousse is similar to that of a nougat — pulled and with almonds added into it; just with a slightly different end product as a mousse. The nougat flavours come across as subtle here, but the apricot gel gives it a lingering fruitiness. Glazed with honey and their own French Whiskey, there is a slight torched feel with a boozy flavour without being too alcoholic — you could taste that Whiskey itself but not that sharp flavour acquainted to alcohol in general. What I absolutely loved is the spiced sable it sits atop on — a very good contrast of saltish nuttiness that complements the elegant and luxurious cake very well. If you are one who likes nutty and alcoholic desserts without too much of a fruity touch, this is one that you should try!
