the 3rd and 4th options look interesting and appetizing, tho the 4th is spilling off the plate/too close to the edge
I like the 1st and 3rd personally- I just like food that is contained within the rim of the plate, and the 2nd feels a bit scattered to me. I like the pear slice on 1 better though. Sounds delicious!
Plating #1 gets my vote; nicely composed with good height and simple garnishing.
My suggestion would be to ditch the orange jelly and switch to a more classic orange jam/compote or grand marnier gastrique/syrup which would help incorporate a lot more vibrant color and flavor to the dish.
1 looks great! I’d just ditch the stem on the pear – the only thing worse than inedible garnish is partially edible garnish. It looks nice but I don’t know what to do with it once I inevitably remove it.
I like the first plating but it would eat better on a plate imo. I just like cake on plates more.
I like 1&3 but Frangipane Tart is going to lead an embarrassing exchange at a table lol.
I love 3, like 1 and think 4 might look better when plated diagonally on that plate.
2 reminds me of the old school hotel I learned at, doesn’t quite catch me.
