In theory, you shouldn’t have a “corner” flavour when you take a bite at something. Flavour needs to feel “round”. . .
What does this means? If there is a too strong flavour or element in your dessert you’ll taste that one more than anything. This is an indication of a lack of balance
Dealing with flavour as a PRO this is the goal: a flavour leads to another slowly, one shouldn’t taste a “stop”. A dance happens, a movement takes place on the palate.
According to Chef Joshua Skenes from Saison, these 4 Flavours are the most likely to create a “corner” :
Acidity
Saltiness
Sweetness
Alcohol / (other strong seasoning)
