The festive yule log │ Cheval Blanc Paris

The galette des rois of Cheval Blanc Paris

To celebrate Epiphany, Maxime Frédéric, Pastry Chef at Cheval Blanc Paris, together with his bakery team have dreamed up a countryside-inspired take on the traditional galette des rois. Their latest creation blossoms into the shape of a delicate daisy – a tribute to open meadows and a floral muse dear to the Chef.

Its airy puff pastry, made with Normandy butter and flour from Auvergne, is adorned with a veil of caramelised sugar that lends a warm golden hue. Each petal, handcrafted with care is meticulously arranged by the bakers to form a perfectly symmetrical corolla with a generous centre that catches the light. Fine lines etched into the dough echo the graceful structure of a flower, as if sketched by a careful botanist.

Beneath this delicate attire lies a melting almond frangipane, with a subtle hint of bitter almond, blooming on the palate like a gentle blossom.

With this daisy-inspired galette, Cheval Blanc Paris celebrates the art of sharing simple joys at the start of a new year – a treat to enjoy with family, a little, a lot, passionately…or even madly.
