A 'Kylie' eclair . . . the pop star does pastries . .


This is just too mad . . . maybe it's an end of the year thing . . . but it's just so cutely kooky . .


"In an Australian First Kylie Minogue to adorn the French Classic Éclair.
Executive Chef Vincent Gadan from Patisse in Waterloo will unveil his ‘Kylie Éclair’ at Masterchef Live (Friday 10th - Sunday 12th December).
For 3 days only this chocolate éclair adorned with an image of Kylie Minogue will be on sale at Masterchef Live and Patisse in Waterloo with 10% of the proceeds of sale going to Kylie’s nominated charity; the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Visitors to ‘The Bakery- Sweets and Treats’ hosted by Patisse Cooking School at Masterchef Live will also get the opportunity to decorate their own ‘Kylie Éclair’ at cooking classes being hosted by Vincent.
Patisse’s owner Michelle Guberina bought the idea to Australia from a very recent visit to Paris. “I was actually in Paris last week and was inspired by the amazing creativity and quality of artisan patisserie product, which was truly mind-blowing. The Master Patissiers in Paris show great vision in re-inventing the classics like the éclair, which is now being made in different sizes, in more exotic flavours and embellished with the most amazing images.
"I chose to showcase Kylie on our debut éclair collection as she is an Australian icon and has a strong connection to France. Kylie was awarded one of the highest cultural awards possible in France the ‘Order of Arts and Letters’ and I thought this was a perfect synergy-food, art and culture,” says Michelle.
Visitors to ‘The Bakery- Sweets and Treats’ hosted by Patisse Cooking School at Masterchef Live will also get an opportunity to decorate their ‘Kylie Éclairs’ at sessions over the weekend.
The Patisse Café at Shop G01, PYD Building 97 Young St Waterloo will also be selling the éclairs on the Friday the 10th and Saturday 11th.
*Masterchef Live is a Festival of Cooking with a live theatre show that will bring the Masterchef experience alive for fans at the Horden Pavilion, Royal Hall of Industries and Moore Park from 10-12 December. For more information visit www.mastercheflive.com.au "

So there you go, all you Kylie fans!
