7th July 2010: Charlotte Aux Poire (Lady Finger)

The Charlotte is here! Why is it called a Charlotte anyway? Honestly - I am very bad with history and not all cakes have a story to tell. But I do know what Charlotte means - in dessert terms.

Charlotte is basically referred as a cake box by using a variety sponges, breads or biscuits to line the mold. And then filled it is filled with mousse/ Bavarian cream/ puree/ custards and some fruits to match.

This slice of Charlotte - lady fingers + pear mousse & pear filling!

P/S: The cut in the middle of the cake is unintentional - the result of bad cravings! I lost control and forget to snap a picture of my Charlotte!
