Chances are you never felt hungry after looking at a pinecone, but chef Dominique Ansel, the creator of the Cronut, might just change all that. That's because he's created delicious desserts that look just like a pinecone, only they're gingerbread creations made with nutmeg cake filled with ginger caramel cream and feuilletine spiced mousse.
Aside from tasting better than a real pinecone, the texture of these cakes and fillings would presumably be a lot more enjoyble than the splintery, chewy feeling of the natural version.
