The house recipe from Chef Philippe is for the making of an entrement style / frozen dessert. It is totally seductive albeit labour intensive.

For me though, I like to use silicone moulds to bake cakes in and have built up quite a large collection of these moulds from Silikomart and Pavoni, that all behave impeccably especially in terms of being rigid enough to be handled safely when putting in the oven.

I found this mould unlike Silikomart and Pavoni equivalents, didn't have enough supporting ribs to ensure rigidity and the silicone itself seems more 'wobbly' than in the Silikomart and Pavoni equivalents. I am an experienced baker with silicone moulds but I do have confess to a mishap with putting this mould into the oven filled with cake batter.

On top of that, this mould arrived completely without packaging unlike the well thought out boxes that Silikomart and Pavoni equivalents are packaged in. The fact that it didn't arrive wrapped in paper or plastic wrap is unforgivable especially given its transit through packing in store and during shipping. But more than anything, if you intend to gift it to someone, you'll have to invest in some packaging yourself.

Overall, it's the worst thing I've bought from this company but I totally get that for the time of year and if you want to make an entrement style dessert this will be the thing for you.

Peace and have a great holiday season.
