Dijon Cake

The cake consists of thin layers of various textures that complement each other and form a harmonious pastry. Rhythmic stripes on the sponge surface follow the cut pattern of the cake. Natural colors attract attention and evoke associations with the bright taste of Dijon black currant.


Tatin Buche

The first thing that catches the eye in this dessert is its cylindrical shape and its stunning surface of transparent, caramelized apples. Joconde sponge and mascarpone cream decorate the center of the pastry and stunningly complement the taste of caramelized apples.
