desserts? welcome. at london s posh barclay hotel, pret a porte, french for ready to wear fashion, is pret a porte with designers helping to create edible fashion for high tea. they usually come up with a design. i get pushed and challenged. you know? if sometimes i m happy with something but they re not. ultimately chef mourad always finds perfection and alexander mcqueen hat anyone? this is oscar de la renta. coconut and lime mousse and we actually spray this green color here. a takeoff of this dress worn by rihanna. filling it with a raspberry mousse inside and we ll finish it off with the spun sugar. one piece can take hours to make. but no one said ho couture was easy. the hardest one. wow, look at those. a cheesecake molded after an emiliol pucci trench coat.
wow, look at those. a cheesecake molded after an emiliol pucci trench coat. the base a cookie crust. apricot syrup. no detail too small. these bikini cookies complete with a chocolate belly button. and just as the fashion changes each season, so do the pastries. the designs can take months to concoct with a team of 14 chefs trying to keep those designs consistent. finally, it was our turn to sample. it s got the blueberry cake in the center with the blueberry compote. the handle goes on there just last minute with john paul gauthier we have the meringue. way better than jell-o. and booking for high tea on the weekends has sold out for the next six months but if you get in, it will cost you, roughly $75. well, high, high tea indeed. if i continue going like this, there s no way i ll fit into one of these. very nice. chef mourad so passionate he knew you would want to try one of these bikinis. have a taste.
