Lemon soda sphere is a 1.5cm dome, yet the chocolate lime curd disks are 6.0cm diameter. In the photo the green disk looks smaller than the dome. I assume the dome is correct at 1.5cm so it can fit in side the soda siphon. Is this a typo or am I missing something?
It took us a little time to figure this out, but looking at the photo of the assembled dish, the large white, rounded, somewhat risqué-looking object is the plate - above that is the 6cm green chocolate and lime disk, then above that is the (rather flattened) 1.5cm lemon sphere, and finally perched on top is the tiny crystallized verbena leaf…
UPDATE: Thanks to Francisco for confirming and clarifying. Mentioning that the sphere was somewhat flattened wasn't intended as a criticism, just an aid to recognition :-)
Joseph, the sphere is the item above the disc. What you see below the disc is merely the serving vessel the dessert was plated on, not the soda sphere. The sphere which ckbk says is "rather flattened" does not hold spherical shape as it is a thin and delicate membrane of gel that contains a fluid liquid, no a solid. Expect some flattening.
