Approximately 4 years ago I met Nikolaos in connection with food appearance in department store Magasin, and since then I have regularly followed Nikolaos many activities.

As always it is a pleasure to visit the store. In the pastry room everybody was busy making different kinds of dessert cakes.

The chocolate mousse was silky and balance between mango and sea buckthorn is absolutely perfect. It is a pastry that I highly recommend.

Som altid er det en fornøjelse at besøge forretningen. I selve konditorlokalet havde alle travlt med at lave forskellige slags dessertkager.

Mine egne erfaringer: Jeg valgte at bruge lidt på at kigge lidt nærmere på de mange skønne kager i disken, og valgte bestille en af de eksklusive kager.

Valget faldt på ”Strangas pure nordic. Ren mørk chokolademousse lavet på 70 % Valrhona chokolade, afbalanceret med en frisk let syrlig havtorn & mangomousse”.
