Summary
The succès praliné is a classic traditional French patisserie. Made with one layer of almond meringue and one of crisp chocolate-hazelnut meringue, it satisfies the desire for a savory cake with a nutty finish. Spread between the layers is a rich praline buttercream, which pairs nicely with the nutty finish of the cake. Whipped cream and candied strawberries decorate the top.
How hard could it be?

The kitchen is a warzone. Flour coats every available surface, eggs are splattered on the walls and the ceiling. Cinnamon and brown sugar are knocked over the edge of the counter, creating a brown waterfall amid the piles of white powder. On the kitchen island there are mashed strawberries, spread against the surface like the insides of a dead man. It is what could be very generously described as an explosion.
Standing in the center of it, untouched, save for a swipe of flour on his nose, is Dick Grayson. He gives Jason a sheepish smile.
Jason counts to three, inhale, meditative exhale.
He lunges, murder in his eyes.
