A Night in the Workshop: Behind the Scenes at the Bakery

When you push open the door of the pastry shop, the display cases are full and the smell of warm butter fills the air. But this show begins well before you arrive, in the calm of the night.

Early in the morning, sometimes even before dawn, the workshop comes alive. We take out the doughs prepared the day before, switch on the ovens and weigh the ingredients. Every gesture is precise, because pastry tolerates very little guesswork.

What happens in the workshop

• Working the doughs, which need time and rest
• Baking, watched down to the minute
• Filling and glazing the cakes
• Setting up the display, with an eye on presentation

Our secret, if we can call it that, is patience. A good laminated dough or a well-made cream cannot be rushed. Quality ingredients help, but time makes the difference.

We also like this work to be shared. If you are curious, ask us how your favorite pastry is made. We will be delighted to tell you its story, from the first weighing to your first bite.
