The existing French sweet stores in Xi'an can be roughly divided into two categories, one is online stores, and the other is a physical store transformed from an online store, and Fantast dreamers belong to the latter. Founded in 2015 as a dessert studio called Opera House, Fantast Dreamer opened a physical store in 2018 and is famous in Xi'an for making birthday cakes for Deng Ziqi.
The Fantast Dreamer used to be known as the French dessert classic, the Opera House, and it is also the representative work of the Fantast Dreamer. The Opéra is a classic French dessert named for its square shape and thin chocolate on the top that resembles a stage inside the opera house. The opera house has no particular difficulties in production, but it is very particular about the basic skills of the pastry chef, and there are not many Xi'an French sweet shops that can taste the opera house, and the only restaurant that dares to use the opera house as the main store is Fantast dreamer. While a traditional opera house has six floors, Fantast's Dreamer's Opera House has more than ten floors and is a rich blend of coffee, cream, brandy, chocolate ganache and macaroon. The opera house uses white chocolate instead of dark chocolate to neutralize the bitterness of the coffee in the dessert, but it is suspected of using too much force, and the white chocolate is too sweet and slightly greasy. Ice Age is a dessert based on the movie "Ice Age", and its appearance is very special: a blue and white gradient iceberg stands on the bottom of a blue plate, and it is dotted with small squirrel ornaments. The iceberg itself is black sesame mousse, and the filling is yogurt mousse, matcha honey bean mousse and black sesame base from top to bottom, with distinct layers and a balanced sweet and sour taste.
Artificial fruit dessert is a kind of dessert that has swept the world in recent years, its representative is the famous French pastry chef Cédric Grolet, the highlight of artificial fruit dessert is the realistic appearance of the fruit and the flow of invagination, since Cédric Grolet launched this series of desserts, it has been imitated by pastry chefs all over the world. Fantast also has a number of artificial fruit desserts, such as peaches, chaise mangos, coconut, oranges, etc., each of which is marked with the approximate ingredients and taste characteristics for diners to choose from. Imitation fruit desserts are easy to imitate and are common in cake shops and cafes in Xi'an, and in terms of taste, Fantast dreamers are at the top of the list.
The store has two floors, and the second floor has a transparent kitchen where you can see the whole process of baking. In terms of decoration design, the store is based on gray and pink, equipped with large floor-to-ceiling windows and filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, suitable for taking pictures. In addition to Fatian, Fantast Dreamer also sells custom-made cakes, which diners can add to the store's WeChat consultation.
