Flan Pâtissier

Hi !

Here is my last project, a pastry that we find a lot in France, the custard pastry, with vanilla, “Flan Pâtissier”.
My inspiration is the Chef Philippe Conticini who is very good at showcasing his beautiful pastries.
All is modeled, textured by me that’s why it’s not perfect. :grin:

Hope you’ll like it !

This is really great work! Convincing and it looks tasty! Good attention to the plate and background textures too, but the cheesecake fluffiness steals the show.

I don’t know Flan Patisssier… yet… but it’s on one of my lists now :wink:… weird thing… the black dots… (i assume ) real vannila particles look somekind of irritating… i wonder how this particular part could enhanced (at the moment i have no idea at all…) ??
Very tasty :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Nice work,
I’m just not totally convinced by the top, which looks more like caramelized sugar drizzled, than “crème brûlée”.

Thank you !

Yes the top lacks roughness probably, my reference is from the chef’s picture: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=739160827568337&set=pb.100044232799537.-2207520000.&type=3&locale=fr_FR
The top is caramelised.

If you make the sugar too thick, it doesn’t harden, but instead turns into caramel. It’s generally considered a mistake on the cooking side, but it’s a very plausible artistic choice (making crème brûlée takes a lot of practice :sweat_smile:)

Oh yes :confused:,
My apologies, according to your reference image (that of the Chef), my comment does indeed lose its meaning !
