Decadent Chocolate Cake: 3 Plating Techniques by Chef Michael Laiskonis

When it comes to dessert, nothing says “classic” like a decadent chocolate cake. Yet in the hands of James Beard award-winning pastry chef and ICE Creative Director Michael Laiskonis, a chocolate cake becomes anything but.
Featuring a wide range of dinnerware from Front of the House, Chef Michael reimagines chocolate cake in three beautiful presentations:
(1) A three-tiered cake with glossy ganache and modern garnishes
(2) A layered verrine of various creams and textural elements
(3) A “deconstructed” cake, plated in a contemporary fine dining style
