Like every year, La Maison du Chocolat goes to great lengths to make Easter a special occasion. The choice of chocolate (beans, arrangement) and the setting up of playful scenes are priorities. For this edition, Nicolas Cloiseau, the master chocolatier, has chosen to highlight the Easter Bunny. The animal is omnipresent. Dressed in a chef’s apron and chef’s hat, he’s busy at the stove.
A myriad of details encourage the setting. Some classic pastries are evoked through the medium of chocolate. Here, an éclair, further on, a religieuse…
At the same time, the utensils used in culinary activities are perfectly rendered. Pastry rollers, spoons and more…
The solid colors of chocolate, black, white and other, highlight shapes and contours.
Two scenarios were proposed. In one composition, Le Toque chef, a pastry bunny is busy with a presentation. Various sweets are displayed alongside him.
The second version, L’Atelier pascal, is more imposing. It reveals the entire world of a chocolate maker’s backroom.
Four rabbits stand side by side with, in all likelihood, the parents and two young rabbits. Their bodies, sometimes made entirely of dark chocolate, sometimes entirely of milk chocolate, reflect their gustatory activity. Each has donned a chef’s hat and apron. A few accessories, such as an imposing spoon, complete the character. Mouths agape, eyes ecstatic, they seem to promise the onlooking gourmet a pleasurable moment.
Like an aesthetic and playful apotheosis, the egg, an essential element in an Easter collection, is treated here with humor.
Like the rabbits, the chef’s egg wears the famous chocolatier’s apron. The details of the garment are respected. The buttons and central pocket speak for themselves.
Alongside this line-up, the company’s classics continue to appeal. Miss Bunny, the elegant rabbit, is presented this year with macaroons.
The little praline or ganache eggs and the fried dishes should have a following.
These are undeniably the gifts to give as you look forward to this spring renewal with delight and humour!
