Critical Success Points

  • Thicken the pastry cream properly without it sticking
  • Seal the two pastry discs hermetically to avoid frangipane leaks
  • Chill the cake before baking so the layers develop
  • Bake at 200 °C until golden without burning

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the saucepan with hot pastry cream – risk of burns
  • Use kitchen gloves or mitts when handling the hot oven
  • Be careful with the sharp knife when cutting the pastry
