Opera cake at Sha Patisserie
The classic Opera cake is a decadent dessert named after the Parisian opera house, Opera Garnier. Created by pastry chef Cyriaque Gavillon’s wife, Andree, who named his creation the Opera Cake because the layers resembled the steps of the grand opera house. Opera cake is traditionally recognised for its rectangular shape. It is made of Almond cake soaked in coffee syrup, chocolate ganache, and coffee buttercream in layers.
