Opera Gateau will be in our assestment next week...so many things to prepare...It is assembled from different components : Joconde, chocolate ganache, coffee butter cream and chocolate glaze. A Joconde is a very thin layer of sponge cake. It needs to be baked quickly so it does not dry out and can absorb the coffee syrup.
