The St. Honoré cake, also known as St. Honoratus cake, is named for the French patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, Saint Honoré. It was invented in 1847 at the Chiboust bakery on Rue Saint-Honoré, in Paris. This classic French dessert is composed of a circle of puff pastry and a ring of pate à choux puffs dipped in caramelized sugar along the outer edge. The ring base is traditionally filled with creme chiboust (a decadent pastry cream) and finished with whipped cream using a special St. Honoré piping tip. Join us to make your very own rendition of this decadent classic!
