I’m not sure Pretty Little Layers counts as a bakery. Rochelle DeSouza describes her operation as a micro-patisserie and appears to be the sole person doing everything. I picked up the cake from her at a new-ish townhouse, so I think she operates out of her home.
She specializes in entremets, which are cakes constructed out of a variety of layers. For my wife’s birthday, we chose the Pistachio Raspberry - a base of pistachio financier topped with white chocolate feuilletine, vanilla panna cotta, raspberry geleé, and pistachio Bavarian cream.
The visual appeal alone is stunning. And the cake itself is marvellous - light, not too sweet, intricate, and a range of textures in every bite.
We will definitely need to try some of her other creations.
