1 - The Tapestry
When Bertrand Grébaut and Théo Pourriat open a new sweet address incubated by Septime , it's obviously the pastry that everyone is talking about: The Tapestry (note the kids friendly pun, haha). Let's talk little, let's talk well: in their little short list of star desserts, their flowing cream puff infused with flouve, this exquisite flower of the fields, is simply orgasmic.

2 - Choupettes de Chouchou
Totally addicted to chouquettes since early school, Sandra Schoukroun (nicknamed Chouchou) launches her signature choupettes by garnishing her addiction with homemade whipped cream . The result is delicately tender sweets, prepared minute in front of the customer and sprinkled with crispy sugar and ice.

Delivered in a pretty rectangular box ideal for bringing dessert, the choux d ' Odette (in tribute to the grandmother of the founder Frédéric Berthy ) literally melt in your mouth. The cream that garnishes them has a real, naturally powerful taste of coffee, caramel, chocolate, lemon, forest fruit, passion, pistachio, praline, vanilla ... As for the choux pastry, mmmh, it resists a bit to the bite: a incomparable kif.

Everything they touch turns into baking ecstasy. The reconversion is good for Jean-François Bandet and Magali Szekula including zebra breads, babkas, flans and pastries. Virtuosos of chou dough, their last baby coming out this Saturday is Paris - New York: a Paris-Brest revisited with light pecan cream garnished with a praline heart. We don't know you, but we feel like we are going to get up early to be sure to taste it.

He is the most prominent baker in Paris. Galette des rois, breads, pastries: it must be said that Benoît Castel's talent lives up to his reputation.

And also...
Popelini
They are very beautiful, very round. Popelini's Insta-friendly cabbages would be worthy of feature in Coppola's Marie-Antoinette . With a good consistency, they do not drip when you bite into them and are therefore eaten while keeping control over their dignity. However, we regret the whole a little too sweet and tastes less natural than its competitors. The classic flavors (salted butter caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, praline, lemon, pistachio, coffee and rose-raspberry) are currently inviting Passion fruit, gianduja nougat, coconut-praline and galette des Kings.
