Description

This letter cake is a creative and delicious way to celebrate any special occasion. The crunchy shortcrust pastry base, combined with a smooth and sweet cream, and decorated with fresh fruit and chocolate pieces, makes it an irresistible dessert. I often prepare it for birthdays and it is always a success. The cream is very easy to make with the Thermomix®, and the decoration is totally customizable. You can use your favorite seasonal fruits, different types of chocolate, or even edible flowers. Go ahead and try it, you will love it! It is perfect for sharing and enjoying in good company.
