Pastry celebrates epiphany

Pastry chef of Cheval Blanc Paris Maxime Frédéric crafted Galette des Rois with nostalgic and comforting flavors to delight both young and old alike.

Inspired by his signature marbled cake, Frédéric’s recent creation prominently features almond, chocolate and vanilla flavors.

 The puff pastry, made with pure Normandy butter and caramelized with cane sugar, incorporates meticulous weaving techniques reminiscent of caning. Crafted by hand, each strip is delicately accented with a chocolate border.

 The frangipane, concocted with creamy chocolate from Madagascar and vanilla, is enhanced by a dark chocolate ganache from Indonesia, all wrapped in the delicate puff pastry.

 Galette des Rois, dubbed as the Epiphany Cake, reigns supreme at the Cheval Blanc Paris offering endless moments of conviviality and sharing.
