Heat the milk and the inverted sugar. Gradually pour onto the melted INSPIRATION. Immediately mix using an electric mixer to make a perfect emulsion. Set aside.

BEURRE MANIÉ WITH CHIA SEEDS
300g European butter
75g all-purpose flour

160g candied orange peel cubes

Mix together the eggs and caster sugar, plus the powdered almonds. Use the yuzu pulp, the concentrated yuzu paste and the zest to make the candied orange peel paste a little more liquid, then add all this to your initial mixture. Sift together the flour, starch and baking powder, then add the results to your main mixture. Add in the clarified liquid butter and milk. Finish off with the candied fruit cubes.

YUZU SYRUP
210g water
260g sugar

Assembly and finishing
Make the ganache and syrup and set aside.Prepare the cake mix and put 200g into each mold (which you have greased in advance with beurre manié and lined with chia seeds).Cover the molds with a sheet of baking paper and a baking tray so that the cakes have a flat top, then bake at 160°C (320°F) for approx. 16 minutes. Steep each cake in 30g of syrup.Spread some pre-hardened Yuzu Inspiration between two sheets of confectionery dipping paper.Before it hardens completely, cut it into 17.5 x 4.5cm rectangles (two per cake). Use a dab of ganache to stick a rectangle of Inspiration onto the cakes.Use a piping bag with a 10mm plain round nozzle to pipe out 50g of ganache in droplet shapes and put a second Inspiration rectangle in place, pressing down lightly.Draw a thread of ganache onto the second rectangle so that you can stick down an assortment of candied fruit pieces (see photo).Finish off with your own Customized Logo Decoration.
