Flor Patisserie has been my favourite cake shop some time back but with the recent mad popping of new cake shops, it has been filed quite far back under my 'to-eat' list of cake shops. However, a recent visit to Takashimaya made me once again purchase their cakes as the sweet-looking cakes are hard to resist. I have tried almost all of their cakes, so i went back for my favourite and their signatures- the Napoleon and Waguri Millefeuille, both containing the chef's signature puff pastry that i s
I have tried almost all of their cakes, so i went back for my favourite and their signatures- the Napoleon and Waguri Millefeuille, both containing the chef's signature puff pastry that i simply adore.
With the red jam and juicy strawberry piled on top of the cake, the Napoleon will definitely rob many girl's heart just by the looks of it. It is one of my favourite as i love the complex layers it contain. From the botton up lies the crispy puff pastry, custard cream, light sponge cake, fresh cream with strawberries and finally another layer of puff pastry covered with jam and even more fresh strawberries. This mixture of layers allow the cake to have lots of texture and a very satisfying mouth feel.
Next, the Waguri Millefeuille is similar to the Nepoleon cake, just that it is piped with french chestnut cream and topped with some sweetened chestnuts. If you are not a fan of strawberries, you can choose this to enjoy the chef's signature puff pastry.Do take note that this 2 cakes are best eaten on the day of purchase as if left overnight. the puff pastry will turn soggy and lose their crispy factor which will be a shame!
