Return to the freezer.Cut the Buckwheat Sablé with an 8cm round cutter, then use a 4.5cm cutter to remove the center and create a donut shape. Bake the bases on a Silpain-lined perforated sheet pan at 310-315˚F (154-157˚C) until light golden brown.Create décor for garnish by spreading tempered STRAWBERRY INSPIRATION between two rectangular strip guitar sheets. Using a bicycle cutter, cut strips on an angle of various widths, then place in a curved tuile mold.Once crystalized, remove the guitar sheets and use a paper coronet to pipe thin lines on the end of the décor. Dust with beet powder and set aside.Once the Buckwheat Sablé bases are cooled, place the sprayed Strawberry Crémeux on the base and allow to defrost slightly.On a white plate, place a spoonful of the Raspberry Beet Sauce and spread with a small offset spatula.Place the Strawberry Crémeux with the base on the Sauce, then pipe an additional 20g of Sauce in the center of the ring.Garnish with STRAWBERRY INSPIRATION décor, Berry Beet “Salad”, toasted buckwheat and freeze dried strawberry pieces.
