Caramel-chocolate Pastry, by Ola Cedell

These pastries simply taste great. Made with a brownie with caramel and a chocolate dome on top, these small treats can embellish any “Swedish fika”. Caramel and chocolate are a perfect combination. The caramel melts in your mouth and because they are spiked with a little hazelnut liqueur, they leave a lovely nutty flavor in the mouth. The photo was taken using studio flash, main light from above and behind and fill-flash from right. Time was spent on the lightning to make the chocolate dome shape visible.
