It tasted really good! The fruits made the entire dish. The delicious and delightfully juicy and berries really made the experience of the french toast immaculate.
Smell: 9
The smell brought back memories from when I was in France and these cute la petite cafés (little brunch restaurants) and the smell of the pastries. When I think of breakfast food I think of French toast.
Visual appearance: 9
The physical appearance was just as amazing as the dish itself. The look of it was like something out of a real restaurant, we really did a good job with presentation.
Creativity: 10
The cream cheese filling really enhanced the original french toast and was a very creative spin! I think that was a really nice touch that we added and it was definitely unique.
