Baked sweets: small unique pleasures

Cakes, shortcrust pastry, biscuits and dry pastries are a pleasure for the palate , but also a way to celebrate special moments , or simply to pamper yourself and enjoy life.

Artisanal pastry is made with fresh and quality ingredients , and is prepared with care and passion. This can be felt in the taste, consistency and aroma, giving us a complete sensory experience . It involves all the senses, from sight with colors and shapes, to smell with the aromas of fruit, chocolate, cream, and taste, conquered by the sweetness, crunchiness or softness, with which the pastry artist expresses his creativity and his personal touch.

Precisely because cakes, shortcrust pastry, biscuits and artisanal dry pastries are a symbol of love , sharing And joy , I have selected producers who use only fresh, local, quality ingredients and as little processed as possible, worked with care and attention to detail, so that you can feel it in the taste and uniqueness of the product.

You won't regret it! ❤️

In the 16th century, Catherine de' Medici, the wife of Henry II of France, brought a secret shortcrust pastry recipe with her when she arrived in France from Italy. The recipe had been passed down from generation to generation in her family, so much so that Catherine is said to have guarded it jealously. It was a simple recipe, but very effective. It was made with flour, butter, sugar and eggs, and had a delicate and aromatic flavour. It was served to her guests at receptions and banquets, and for this reason shortcrust pastry quickly became one of the most popular preparations at court. Catherine de' Medici's recipe is still passed down today and is used to prepare a variety of desserts, such as tarts, biscuits and tartlets.
