the essentials Cédric Grolet, crowned best pastry chef in the world in 2018, has just unveiled his new Christmas creation, a humanoid log covered in white icing with rather messy contours, which is causing a lot of talk on the web…
Cédric Grolet’s pastries are known throughout the world. His trompe-l’oeil fascinates and makes gourmands salivate, just like his fruit tarts and his sweet creations, but in recent days, it is rather incomprehension or even indignation that reigns. The design of the “Snowman” Christmas log and especially its price are subject to ridicule from Internet users.
I died laughing. This is such a level of scam that we would have to invent a new word.

The pastry chef, known for his rigor and precision, creates a dessert with a sloppy appearance for the substantial sum of €95. The “scam” of a chef who “makes fun of his customers” is strongly criticized on the Internet, many fans say they do not understand this dessert, very far from the world of Cédric Grolet.

“Actually, it’s a great concept, you can easily make your guests believe that it’s homemade (even more plausible if you have a 4-year-old child at home),” quips one of them. .
On his site, the pastry chef details the composition of this snowman. Inside, coconut marshmallow, coconut ganache, cubes of fresh mango, coconut dacquoise, and coconut crunch, ingredients that also get people talking. “At that price, it’s cococaine,” laughs a user of X (formerly Twitter).
This is not the first time that Cédric Grolet’s creativity has created controversy. Last June, a wave of negative comments broke out following the presentation of a strawberry tart, with hulls removed, sold for 80 euros.
