To celebrate Epiphany, Maxime Frédéric, Pastry Chef of Cheval Blanc Paris, and his team of bakers, have created a Galette des Rois inspired by a rosebud.
A tribute to the flowers the chef used to pick in the garden of his childhood farmhouse.
A puff pastry made with Normandy butter and Auvergne flour, dusted with brown sugar, takes the form of petals, each one crafted by hand thanks to the bakers' skilful and delicate gestures. At its heart lies a traditional almond frangipane cream prepared in the purest tradition of the Galette des Rois.
With every taste it reveals a subtle orange blossom aroma, blending with the caramelised notes of the puff pastry and the creaminess of the almond.
The Cheval Blanc Paris' Galette des Rois joins Maxime Frédéric’s creations, paying homage to roses and their infinite grace.
Like a budding flower, this Galette des Rois will bloom in January at Cheval Blanc Paris.
