The Great bake off 2: final

Signature Mille-Feuille

Technical challenge: Mary Berry's Sachertorte

Now... to me this is very difficult, because I don't consider that a Sachertorte. Firstly, the chocolate is too light. 39% baking chocolate isn't even chocolate. There shouldn't be any ground almonds in Sacher. The chocolate and apricot keep it moist. Her cake didn't much raise. It looks the same height it was when it went into the tin. You should be able to cut the cake in two. It is not glazed with ganache. 
The original Sacher torte you buy has only sugar, apricot jam, eggs, chocolate, wheat flour, butter and water. 

Here's the "approximation" Sacher gives

I like this Epicurious' recipe with Dieter Schorner. There's 4 parts to this, so go to YouTube to see all of them.

Showstopper: British Summer Petits Fours; meringue, sweet pastry, and sponge based.

Uh. I hate thinking about this! 
I'll make mini pavlovas filled with berries, bébés, and Neapolitan fondant fancies. One layer chocolate cake, one vanilla and one strawberry, with chocolate ganache between chocolate and vanilla, and strawberry jam between vanilla and strawberry. Apparently it's more important they are all the same size, than that they are small and dainty.
