In today’s lesson, we discussed the importance of garnishing desserts and the common mistakes made during the process. It’s crucial to choose complementary garnishes that enhance the specific dessert, as poor choices can lead to unappealing presentations. Key points included the need for freshness in ingredients, avoiding excessive use of garnishes, and ensuring that the garnishes create a nice contrast with the dessert colors. Ultimately, the focus should always remain on the dessert itself rather than the garnishes, as this significantly impacts the overall visual appeal.
