Fillings: six ways
Drizzle, smear, melt, sprinkle, dollop and place.
Every filling goes on in one of 6 ways, with its own tool, gesture and sound. Take a filling by tapping its well on the line; the dish in the corner of the screen shows what is in your hand. Tap the dish to dip again, or to put the filling back.
| Way | Tool | How | Fillings | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drizzle | dipper, jug or caramel spoon | Drag across the crêpe: a thin strand follows the tool. Hold still and it pools. | Salted caramel, Honey, Maple syrup | |
| Smear | a loaded spoon | Drag the spoon: it gives up what is on it as you go. Going over a thick place spreads it on. | Raspberry jam, Chocolate-hazelnut, Apple compote, Speculoos spread, Lemon curd, Onion confit, Blueberry compote, Chestnut cream, Pistachio cream | |
| Melt | a knob of butter and a knife | Tap to put a knob down; it melts on the heat. Then brush the melted butter about with the knife. | Salted butter | |
| Sprinkle | a shaker, grater or pinch bowl | Drag over the crêpe: slower drops more. Hold still and it heaps. | Lemon & sugar, Emmental, Flaked almonds, Lardons, Roasted hazelnuts, Chocolate shavings | |
| Dollop | piping bag, cream spoon or scoop | Tap once for each mound. | Whipped cream, Crème fraîche, Vanilla ice cream | |
| Place | your fingers | Tap once for each piece. The ticket counts them. | Banana, Strawberry, Ham, Egg, Mushrooms, Spinach, Pear, Tomato, Raspberries, Blueberries, Goat's cheese, Smoked salmon, Andouille de Guémené |

How much
An order asks for the usual helping unless the guest says otherwise. For spreads, sauces and toppings that is a little, the usual or plenty; the ticket shows little pips for each dip and a tick when there is enough. Plenty costs you more in fillings and the guest pays more for it (a little costs 60% of the usual, plenty 150%).
Pieces are counted. When a guest names no number they get the usual; the order pad shows it.

Too little, too much, all on one side or over the edge: the guest will say so. The hand lets go by itself when there is enough on and the tool is empty.
Special cases
- Lemon & sugar: sprinkle the sugar, then tap to squeeze the lemon half over it. Forget the lemon and the guest notices.
- Butter melts into a pool where it lands; brush it about until it glazes the crêpe.
- Emmental melts together on the heat, which a cheese lover appreciates.
- Ice cream melts if it waits: put it on at the very last moment.
Scraping off
While something lies on an open crêpe, a palette knife waits beside the dish. Take it and drag it over the crêpe to take off whatever is under it: a spread, grains, pieces, the lot.
Placers
Every filling that is laid piece by piece has its own placer in the Atelier, bought with sugar pearls: with it, one tap on the crêpe lays every piece of that filling the ticket asks for. You still pour, spread, flip and fold.
