NEW! Paris-Brest

Do you know why the Paris Brest is a round-shaped pastry?

The Paris Brest was initially invented to tribute to a French bicycle race between Paris and Brest. But, as with many of the great classics, it is thought that Louis Durand, a pastry chef from Maisons-Laffitte, created the pastry to celebrate the race's finish in his town.

The wheel shape that we know today is said to represent the wheel of the bicycle and symbolize a wedding ring.

This simple combination of choux pastry with hazelnut and almond praline cream is just as beloved in France today as it was when it was first created in 1910.
