What is it made from?

• 500 g — Baked vanilla sponge
• 150 g — Mascarpone, for layers
• 100 g — Buttercream, thin coating
• 450 g — Marzipan, cover + domes
• 150 g — Smooth pear purée
• 20 g — Sugar
• 2 g — Gelatin, 200 Bloom
• 20 ml — Cold water for gelatin
• 1 tsp — Vanilla extract
• 20 g — Chocolate, for details
• a little — Peach, pink, ivory food colours

Proposed preparation steps

1. Layer the baked sponge with mascarpone, then carve the shape. Shape five toes and a rounded heel. Keep trimmings to build the contours.
2. Spread a thin buttercream coat. Roll out about 300 g of peach-tinted marzipan, cover the cake and smooth its contours.
3. Soften gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Warm pear purée and sugar without boiling. Off the heat, mix in gelatin and vanilla. Chill until thickened, then stir into a soft gel.
4. Use the remaining 150 g marzipan to make 15–20 small hollow thin shells. Add a little cooled gel to each. Seal the underside with a thin marzipan disc and place seam-down on the cake.
5. Tint the edges pink and centres ivory with edible colours. Add chocolate details. Refrigerate until serving.
6. Pierce a dome gently with a clean chopstick, then press beside it to release the gel. The gel consistency and shell thickness still need a real kitchen test. Contains wheat, egg, milk and almonds. Gelatin is animal-derived.
