Tian à l’orange

et voila!  finally a new post.  it is another daring baker’s challenge.

The 2010 March Daring Baker’s challenge was hosted by Jennifer of Chocolate Shavings.  She chose Orange Tian as the challenge for this month, a dessert based on a recipe from Alain Ducasse’s Cooking School in Paris.

The original version of this recipe can also be found in Alain Ducasse’s book of dessert and pastries, which I received recently as a gift and I have found that this book is really one of the most amazing pastry books I’ve ever seen.  It is very concise and well organized by ingredient with beautiful detailed photos of each dessert.
