Valérie

Christmas is just around the corner, how are you gonna celebrate it? What about some Christmas log cakes? @valeriepastry spreads its wings and makes some of the best log cakes in town, one of them is their Matcha log cake. Rolled in the matcha sponge cake, the matcha cream was extraordinarily good that we almost lick the plate! It was quite thick, rich, dense with a pronounced bitterness from the matcha, each slice of it gave a very intense kick of matcha. Flavoring was really nice but it would have been even better if the cream was lighter and more airy. Matcha flavor of the sponge was not as heavy as the cream. It was very moist that went almost a bit mushy, would have been better if it was softer, and more fluffier. Oh and have you noticed there were a chocolate ball on the top? There were also some matcha jello cubes inside!
One cake is good, but two is even better! Other than matcha, Valérie also has their log cakes in chocolate. The Chocolate-​All-​In-​One is perfect for chocolate lovers. Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate sponge cake, Chocolate brownie, Chocolate crisp, Chocolate crispy pearl, I’d call this chocolate overload. Valrhona chocolate mousse was dense, thick and a bit heavy. Good that it was neither too sweet nor sugary, making it a delightful dessert after the meal.
It was also nice that there was a layer of passion fruit purée in between all those chocolates, balancing the sweetness. The sponge was kinda dry though, would have been better if it was moister and more airy. We like how there was layer of chocolate crisp in the cake, giving some crunchiness to the cake and making it more scrumptious!
