An Underwater Narrative in Sweets

The tea service is anchored by a collection of sweets designed to evoke an aquatic kingdom. The top tier features a glass dessert of peach and coconut topped with a chocolate trident, alongside a chocolate-and-almond creation depicting a mermaid silhouette. Other thematic elements include a tropical fruit mousse designed to resemble the seabed, coral-themed tarts, and macarons shaped like seashells containing pearl-like accents.
