Max's 1st birthday celebration!

For Max's 1 year old birthday we made a beautiful 3 tier cake. Bottom tier is our dark chocolate cake with valrhona 70% chocolate buttercream, middle vanilla cake layered with valrhon ivoire chocolate and raspberry buttercream and finally top red velvet with our madagascar bourbon vanilla cream cheese frosting. The cake was covered with white fondant and decorated with ribbons and blue fondant circles. We then topped the cake with Max's favorite puppy stuffed toy and favorite blue blanket. WE presented the cake on a beautiful cake stand and placed our vanilla and carrot cupcakes around it for an even more stunning presentation!

We also made pink and blue "No.1" cookie party favors for each little guest to take home. Everyone got their No.1 cookie with either blue or pink icing and their names written on it. Wonderful way to take something home from such a lovely 1 year old birthday celebration!

New member of our pastry family!

Hi, for those who've recently visited our patisserie you will have noticed a new addition to our pastries. It's what we call a chocolate hazelnut crunch and it's absolutely delicious and my new favorite! It combines all the tastes and textures of your dream cake. Layers of tempered milk and dark chocolate is sandwiched with our jivara (valrhona 40% chocolate) cream and ganache. The bottom is made of a hazelnut dacquoise topped with our praline crunch. It's all at once smooth, crispy, crunchy, chocolatey and hazelnuty. Too all you nutella and ferrero rocher fans out there, this is your absolute fantasy cake! It comes in individual, 1 lb, 2 lb and 3 lb sizes. Come and order it now!

Baby's baptism cake

For Tristan's very special baptism, we made a valrhona white chocolate and raspberry cake to celebrate the occasion. Each layer of fluffy vanilla cake was sandwiched with our white chocolate buttercream and raspberry puree. We then covered the cake with white fondant and decorated it with little blue polka dot lined fondant stars.

Croquembouche

For a parisian themed tea party, we made this show stopper croquembouche! We made about 60 cream puffs, each with a tender crust and an inner shell that was soft, moist and custardy. The cream puffs were filled with our madagascar bourbon vanilla pastry cream and "glued" together with caramel. We then spun caramel sugar around the croquembouche to give it an even more stunning presentation!

Chocolate banana landrover defender

For Magnus' 2nd birthday we created a chocolate banana version of the landrover defender 60th anniversary car. We layered fresh banana cake with our dark chocolate buttercream and molded the cake into an actual car fit with windshield wipers, tires, license plates and even the white bird detailing of the 60th anniversary addition cars. All decorations were made of fondant and entirely edible! Happy birthday Magnus!

Pre wedding cupcakes

For a special wedding ceremony, we shipped dozens of our delicious red velvet with madagascar bourbon vanilla cream cheese frosting cupcakes and fresh strawberry with strawberry buttercream cupcakes to the Four Seasons for a delectable sweet pick me up before the actual wedding ceremony. We placed each cupcake on beautiful glass cupcake holders. Elegant and delicious!
