Welcome to the 6th episode of my Baking Series, “From Classic to Iconic”, where I show you how to turn timeless, classic desserts into modern and elegant entremet cakes.

In this episode, I’m showing you how to make a modern version of one of the most classic desserts: the lemon tart!

In addition to the classic lemon and meringue combination, this elevated version introduces notes of almond and caramel, along with new textures like crunchy elements and a smooth broken gel, all brought together in a fresh, spring-inspired design.

Happy baking <3
