I saw an interesting idea the other day while watching Food TV.
A desert that was presented to look like a cup of hot chocolate, whipped cream piled high on it, with a small spoon in the cup for mixing.
It was actually a mocha-chocolate cake, baked individually in the mugs, with a marshmallow that had been flavoured with Grand Marnier and piped to look like whipped cream. the spoon was a cookie. They served it with a small shooter of butterscotch rum sauce.
I liked the idea - basically a modern day subtlety (theoretical medieval practice of making one food look like something else).
I'm toying around with doing something like this.
Trying to think of what I could make things look like.
What would you like to see arrive at the end of a lovely meal as a "finish" - talking eye appeal here, not what you want to eat
