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
