Big Gateaux Numero Three

The third annual Big Gateaux Show took place once again last Friday. The burlesque-show-meets-cake-competition was held at the Royal Sonesta in the French Quarter and included four chefs competing for a $5000 grand prize!

Check out these crazy tall pieces of culinary creativity! The top left was the winner. "Let them eat cake!" Those "feathers" coming out the of the crown on top were made from gelatin! 


During the show the contestants were blindfolded with feather masks then instructed to pipe icing onto cakes with verbal help from their sous chefs. The first one to complete the assigned task was named the winner!

Sucre folks after the fun was over. Each year the kitchen people help serve the desserts, this year it was cupcakes, to the guests.
