Large & small cakes sample video

Video transcription

"I have a little bit of icing sugar on the Millefeuille and I have put that under the salamander to give the pastry a nice little colour and now it has set I just have to put some little decorations on it like a little pear, and a little fig. I might put a little cream here so that the fig sticks. Here is a little Millefeuille with a Cream Chiboust."
