Forget yule logs shaped like fire wood and studded with holly berries. When master French pastry chefs make their bûches de Noël, they’re wrapped in gold leaf, shellacked in a glossy caramel veneer and covered in leopard print.
In a YouTube video created by food blog Paris by Mouth, a bevy of cakes made by masterful French pastry houses like Fauchon, La Maison du Chocolat and Pierre Hermé are featured to a surprising soundtrack of Salt-N-Pepa’s classic “Push It.”

In honor of the upcoming nuptials of Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock, two iconic French pastry houses have created special, limited-edition desserts.
Ladurée launched a special box-set of eight macarons, light, airy almond meringue cookies that come in guava and raspberry-aniseed flavors.
The guava macaron is perfumed with pink guava from South Africa, while the raspberry cookie has a hint of aniseed.

After launching the famous eclair Mona Lisa, Fauchon introduces its latest gourmandise from its Tribute Collection featuring French actress Brigitte Bardot.
The patisserie is delicately flavoured with rose and almond and decorated with a photo of BB from 1959 by Sam Lévin.
In 2008 Fauchon created a new chocolate printing technique that enable to display images. And this is the first treat of their French classic collection.
