Well, I saw upon rereading that I had a typo, it being "frangipani," which, as you said is the flower. :P And the "e" ending is frangipane. I have to go back and correct that.
Regarding the designs, I didn't invent them. The first leafy one is "laurier" (bay leaf), at least the leaves are traditional; I couldn't really see in the video what the chef did inbetween the leaves, so I did what I thought he did. :P The swirly/spiral one is "Pithivier," which is a name for the cake (comes from the name of a French town), and is traditionally decorated with swirls. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pithivier
