  • This week, we're headed back to Springfield to take a look at a deadly dessert: La Bombe, a premeditated éclair with 25 pounds of butter per square inch, chocolate so dark light cannot escape its surface, and a staggering 1 million calories. We can't break the rules of...well, physics, but can we make an equally "killer" pastry? Pastry "d'oh"? Is that something?

    Story time;
    So I was in a Tim Hortons the other day (October 8th 2021) and I was sitting down eating lunch with my family. We were seated near the front counter and I was facing said counter. An older gentleman was taking his turn to order. He ordered a coffee and than turned towards the baked goods display case and without pointing at what he wanted or reading the labels, said with full confidence: "I'll take one of those Hot dog bun lookin' things that you dipped in chocolate and the cream inside it." I nearly choked on my drink as I immediately realized this man wanted an éclair. Seeing this video in my recommendations reminded me of it so I thought I'd share.

    Trivia: bakeries in France usually fill the éclairs with a custard matching the decoration. Two most common versions are chocolate and coffee éclairs, but i wish to find one with extra flavors (i bet living in a big town like Paris would make it easier to find a shop specialized only in éclairs)

    You do great work, but I've got a few tricks after 15 years of cakes, candy and pastry: get a bismark tip, use parchment cone-bags and ditch the coupler. Wilton bags stretch and pop the tips out, use ateco, ck or hygo brand disposables and you don't need couplers. The *only* time you need them is when you're piping different colors and only have one tip - in which case cut your parchment bag to shape *or* buy more tips as they practically cost as much as couplers.
    Also a better way to melt chocolate is to preheat your oven to 'warm', or it''s lowest setting, and turn it off - set a ceramic/glass bowl of chocolate in there and stir after 10 min. Stir every minute until evenly melted (should only take another couple stirs). Ovens are dry and chocolate melts thinner, also if you're dealing with tempered chocolate or coveture than you can't overheat it that way. Plus if you're dipping things in chocolate you can have two bowls in there and as one starts to set up you can swap it out for the warmer one, giving all your confections an even shiny coat.
