An Eiffel Tower of Chocolate Cream

Parisian crème doesn’t get its name from a confectioner, but rather from a man who is famous for steel instead of snacks. We are talking about Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (1832–1923), whose tower, built for the World’s Fair in Paris 1889, gave many confectioners the same idea: to create the shape of the Eiffel Tower on a pâte brisée base and pour chocolate over the whole thing. The chocolate cream used has been called Parisian cream ever sense.

Notes & Wine Advice

Dalai Lama and the Buttercream Torte
The Dalai Lama never thought that his life’s work would one day be connected to good old German buttercream. Denis Scheck, the German literature critic and Ingeborg Bachmann Prize judge, was responsible for it. He received a review copy of the collection of Dalai Lama quotes, Daily Advice from the Heart, about which he said that it contained “wisdom with the intellectual force of a buttercream torte dropped from ten meters.” Having said that, buttercream torte doesn’t taste so bad at all, and you certainly don’t have to drop it from ten meters high.
