Damián Betular is always the rage.
The figure of him as a jury of the new edition of MasterChef guarantees rating points to Telefe.
And for 7 months his followers have also accompanied him in his hyper-
crowded Devoto pastry shop
, which, in addition to being a sales hit for its macarons and petit gateaux,
surprises with innovative proposals for special dates
.
Of course Easter is no exception.
For the most beloved pastry chef on TV, these dates were always a special time to show all his technical knowledge but also his creativity.
Even before having his own venue, when he worked for the Duhau Palace, it was expected that
his proposal for Easter would be different from anything known.
In
the first Easter of Betular Patisserie, the chocolate eggs
stand out not only for their size, but also for their design, their flavors and their packaging.
They will also sell their own version of the traditional rosca.

"We are inspired by the colors of the place
," says Betular.
It refers to the palette that predominates in the patisserie and that is reflected in most of the products.
"At Christmas it was burgundy, for Valentine's Day yellow predominated and for Easter we chose orange",
details the pastry chef.
The shop window of the patisserie welcomes its customers with figures of rabbits in various shades and eggs on display.
Upon entering the premises, the boxes where these products will be stored appear and the shelves overflow with tubes with
eggs wrapped in colored foil.
They started thinking about the proposal a few days before Valentine's Day.
So they were rehearsing and doing tests in the middle of summer.
The heat wave that hit the country surprised them in the middle of production: "One day our power went out and the air didn't work, we thought we were losing all production," says Juli Debicki, pastry chef and Damián's right-hand man.

The color and texture of the eggs is hypnotic, it is hard to distinguish that they are made of chocolate and
they shine so much that they seem to be turned marble.
The packaging had a lot of influence: “It was made by our designer, who manages the entire image for us.
When we received the sample of what the box would be like, we saw an egg that we loved and decided to follow that aesthetic”, says Juli.
Regarding the flavors, Damián confesses that he delegated the task to his right hand: "She is an expert," he explains.
All versions are made with white chocolate, hazelnut praline, and milk chocolate.
“We incorporated the praline that gives the egg a crunchy texture.
And she has layers like a Kinder egg,” Juli explains.

Eggs come in three sizes.
All versions are filled with chocolate orange drizzles and mini milk chocolate and hazelnut eggs.
The smallest
has an approximate weight of 120 grams and is worth
$3,900.
The medium one
weighs 360 grams and its price is
$11,900.
The XL size
measures 25 centimeters and is made with 1.3 kilos of chocolate.
They come in a large box and are delivered in a cute cardboard bag.
Its value is $43,300.
They also sell pots -acetate tubes- of
mini-sized eggs made with milk chocolate and filled with hazelnut gianduia.
"They are wrapped one by one, we have been making them for weeks," says the pastry chef.
Each tube has 14 units and costs $4,300.
The eggs are already available on the premises and there is a permanent stock so
it is not necessary to reserve
.
They prepared a thousand eggs of the smallest, 500 of the medium version and 200 of the largest.
As of April 1st, the
Easter bagel
will be added to this proposal , which will be the same one that was sold for kings: laminated dough, filled with vanilla pastry, semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate and hazelnut praline.
It weighs 750 grams and its price will be $4,300.
