Dacquoise: Eight out of Ten



I am satisfied but not proud. I haven't tasted one yet. This is not what I envisioned. I need to do work on the butter cream. I wanted a different outside surface and to use a butter cream, but I used whipping cream for the outer layer.

They're good. Sweet, but not too sweet and the lemon taste is subtle. The aftertaste is good but I'll be making changes. Next time, I think I'll make some lemon custard in which to nest it.

It's okay; not great.
Presentations: Seven out of ten.
Taste: Six? I'll ask my friends at dinner. A reconsideration: Eight!
