Who is Sandi Planinšek?

It is not said in vain that pâtisserie is an art. Sandi Planinšek is a chef by education and a passionate pastry chef by heart. Favorite desserts of this young and aspiring pastry chef are those in the shape of fruit, and he is currently creating his own style of desserts at a renowned restaurant. His dessert display case is reminiscent of a freshly picked autumn crop ranging from ripe pears to shiny hazelnuts. He is most proud of the hazelnut-shaped dessert, as he says it is technically the most demanding.

Why a mono-portion cake course?

Mono-portion cakes are sweets where creativity and imagination know no bounds. Limitless play with shapes, flavors and, last but not least, preparation techniques can conjure up a basket full of pears that are sure to leave your friends spellbound. Who says a cake should just be round? Sandi will take you through the preparation of mono-portion cakes in the shape of fruit and mono-portion desserts such as Raffaello and Ferrero Rocher. He will share the secrets of making smooth fillings, juicy purees and shiny glazes. He will also reveal some tricks to help you prepare mono-portion cakes without the need for a large number of different utensils. The end result, however, will nevertheless be stunning. 

"I'll share my the secrets of how to make stunning mono-portion desserts right in your home kitchen, without prohibitively expensive utensils."

    "Before glazing, the hazelnut should be really well-chilled so that it stays on the wooden stick and does not fall off during glazing."

Last time I made a strawberry mono portion cake for my mother-in-law's birthday. It took me a long time to convince her that I had actually prepared it myself. I told her about the BAM Pastry Academy, and now she is learning how to make the hazelnut one. Excellent, I recommend it.

“Easy to make and with simple ingredients”

Rating was given by Dorothy Z., 07.04.2021

The presented mono-portion cakes are easy, but rather time-consuming to make because the filling has to cool, which is completely understandable. And the suspense builds up even more. It's great!

“All that was left was an empty plate”

Rating was given by Jeremy S., 06.04.2021

I made Raffaelo and Ferrero Rocher for my family. In the end, there wasn’t a single crumb left, they would have eaten the plate if they could. They can’t wait for the fruit-shaped mono-portion cakes, and neither can I. Excellent courses!
