A Sugar Sculpture Crowned in Gold
A Symphony of Flavours and Textures
At first glance, the eye is drawn to a delicate sugar sculpture adorned with gold leaf and crowned by a hand-blown apple with golden reflections.
Beneath this intricate creation lies a gourmet masterpiece: a soft muscovado and vanilla sponge resting on a crisp buckwheat base, filled with tender caramelised apples, a creamy salted caramel centre, and a light Isigny vanilla cream.
A Hidden Treasure Within
The enchantment continues inside the golden base. Hidden beneath the sculpture are Ladurée’s festive treats: two exclusive macaron creations imagined by Chef Alvarez for the holidays, accompanied by crisp hazelnut pearls coated in vanilla.
A secret indulgence that adds the perfect finishing touch to this exceptional luxury Christmas dessert.
«I wanted this Yule Log, with the apple as its guiding thread, to be both magical and generous. I then built my creation around textures to achieve the utmost indulgence.»
Julien Alvarez, Head of Pastry Creation at Maison Ladurée
