Welcome bakers to week 40! Can you believe we’re 40 weeks into the challenge? I surely can’t.

I hope you are feeling creative, because this week's challenge is all about entremets. What are entremets? Back in the day an entremets was a sweet offering, traditionally served up at banquets as a little treat between savoury courses. More recently they've become a way of chefs showing off their pastry prowess by way of creating a complex cake made up of various layers of different dessert techniques.

According to what I found online, each entremets should include layers that each give textures of spongy, creamy, bubbly, crunchy and wobbly. Each of these should be different, but work well together, for an overall delicious flavour.

No easy task! Feel free to choose the textures you like the best, but try to include at least two, and two techniques in this complicated dessert.

Here are some recipes to help you out:

I hope you all have time and patience this week!

Happy baking!
