[Paris pastries / 巴黎甜點] #2019年聖誕節蛋糕精選 🎅🍰 / Christmas cake creations 2019 (for English, please click “see more”)
又到了聖誕節蛋糕的季節了！每年甜點界的重頭戲再度開打，甜點主廚們使出渾身解數的美感與技藝對決。如果大家還記得，前不久巴黎甜點界經過一番大風吹，許多甜點主廚在換了工作後不僅要適應新的環境與團隊，還得立刻交出作品，真是極大的考驗。不過，沒有兩把刷子的甜點人也不可能被挖角了。
從今年的作品與發表方式中可以隱隱看出幾個趨勢：
📌 #更多甜點主廚站至台前：更多巴黎高級飯店將自己的甜點主廚們推到台前，以他們與其作品當成飯店行銷的利器。
📌 #更多巧克力雕塑：也許因為大家對外型愈來愈重視，而巧克力雕塑能夠讓甜點人更自由地做出想要的外觀，今年的創作中有更多使用巧克力雕塑完成的作品。連帶巧克力口味的聖誕節蛋糕也成為大宗。
📌 #一次推出更多不同口味與定位的蛋糕：為了吸引不同的族群，許多甜點店與主廚們一次推出不同造型、價位的多款蛋糕。
📌 #國王派和聖誕節蛋糕一起登場：許多飯店跟品牌選擇同時將主廚們的聖誕節蛋糕與國王派創作一起推出，節省所有人的時間心力。但對主廚們來說，顯然有更多工作必須提前完成。而到年底前的行銷空檔究竟會由什麼其他活動填補空缺則有待觀察。
我一樣精選了十幾款巴黎最具特色的聖誕節蛋糕介紹給大家，就請直接點開照片欣賞吧！

It’s not Christmas yet but it’s time to treat your eyes first with the splendid Yule logs created by Parisian pastry chefs. Christmas is one of the most important event of a year when pastry chefs present their original creations made with craftsmanship and compete with creativity and unique aesthetics. If you still remember, a mercato of Parisian pastry chefs has taken place earlier on, thus some of the chefs are required to present their work shortly after landing in the new kitchens while getting to know the team. An extremely challenging task, isn’t it?
Some interesting trends can be found this year:
📌 More pâtissiers are brought up onto the stage: Pastry chefs are real stars nowadays. More and more hotels and brands try to bring their chef pâtissiers up onto the stage. Cakes are not the only focus, those who have made them are also something to be featured.
📌 More chocolate sculptures: More creations made of chocolate sculptures can be found this year. Pastry chefs use chocolate sculptures to create unique forms and shapes that are visually more impactful. Visual presentation seems to become more important thanks to the influence of social media.
📌 More options in terms of flavours and positioning: Many pastry shops and chefs choose to launch several different cakes at once to cater customers of different profiles.
📌 Presentations of the galette des rois advanced: Hotels and brands introduced their galettes together with the yule logs. Although it saves some efforts for the presse, the pâtissiers are now required to have things done much earlier. The practice also creates a certain gap during the year end for the marketers. We’ll see what other events might come up to fill this gap.
Among all these Yule log creations, I’ve selected some of the most original ones this year to present you. Click on the photos and check them out!
