Cake Design
What is Cake Design?
Contrary to modern belief, cake design is not an English art but a French art invented in the 17th century by Marie-Antoine Carême, known as Antonin Carême, who is a pastry chef nicknamed “the king of chefs and the chef Kings”. He is the first to bear the title of chef.
He was quickly noticed for his talent, and at the age of 13 he became an apprentice of the pastry chef Sylvain Bailly. Passionate about architecture, he was inspired by temples, ruins and pyramids when he opened his first shop; La Pâtisserie on rue de la Paix, where he exhibits in the window his pieces made entirely of sugar, marzipan and pastries that many rich aristocrats snap up.
Cake design becomes an art thanks to him and his fame travels all over Europe!
The democratization of cake design in England began in the 17th century with wedding cakes. In particular, we can talk about the 1840 cake that Queen Victoria served to her guests. A cake of 136 kilos all the same!
Other important dates will mark the rise of cake design such as the arrival of the thermostat oven in 1871 and the invention of sugar paste in 1888. This greatly promotes the accessibility of cake design.
Today Cake design attracts more and more people. For weddings, birthdays, baptisms, baby showers, all occasions are good to enjoy a personalized cake.

Why don't we use fresh flowers on our cakes?
By choice and in order to preserve the health of our customers, natural flowers are not offered on our cakes. Indeed, natural flowers purchased from the florist are prohibited on cakes, even if wrapped in cellophane.
They are grown with a lot of pesticides, various treatments, potentially dangerous to health, from the stem to the petal through the pistil without forgetting the pollen.
Instead, sugar flowers can be sculpted to decorate your cakes.
