SUPREME OF FRUITS, A LA VICTORIA.
FOR this purpose some Genoese cake about an inch thick should be first prepared, and out of this, three or four graduated circular pieces should be cut; the largest, with which to form the basement, must be eight inches in diameter, the next six, the third four, and lastly finishing with a round piece an inch and a half in diameter; these being stuck one upon the other with some kind of fruit-jam, will thus produce a kind of pyramid. Upon this elevation close or connected rows of either peaches, apricots, pears, or apples, prepared as for compote must be placed; finishing at the summit with a vase or cup formed out of apple or pear, and filled with a Macedoine of fruits. Mask the rows of fruit with some apricot jam, diluted with maraschino; and with a paper cornet or biscuit-forcer, filled with whipped cream, ornament the base of the entremet in wave-like fashion, upon these place some plumed pieces of green angelica.
