paris brest

Today we're going to tell you how the Paris-Brest cake, that giant of French pastry, was created.

It also serves as a Birthday Cake.

Although it was initially made in the shape of a laurel wreath, its current form no longer reflects that history.

In 1910, in honor of a bicycle race between Paris-Brest-Paris, Louis Durand, pastry chef at Maison Laffitte, created the famous cake inspired by a bicycle wheel.

The Paris Brest cake, despite being French, has become internationalized and maintains the same success as its original today.

This true delight features Pâte-à-Choux with Praliné Cream (Chocolate with Hazelnut) in its composition.

Would you also like a drink suggestion?… Very well, here it is:

• If you're with your 'soulmate', pair it with a chilled flute of champagne;
  this is because this cake is warm and that's what summer calls for;
• If you prefer something less alcoholic, we suggest one of the iced teas
  from our magnificent personalized selection.
• Or, why not? A fresh-squeezed juice of the day?!

“Et bon appétit”
