Always dreamt of travelling to France to indulge in some authentic pastries and viennoiseries while sipping on coffee? Well, you can emulate the same experience in Singapore without travelling across the globe and burning a hole in your pocket with Délifrance!
We are one of Singaporeans’ favourite authentic and traditional French bakeries, bringing a taste of Paris closer to home with our selection of French delicacies and aromatic coffee.
Here are six of our iconic French pastries and viennoiseries you need to try or include in your pastry box orders for a party to fill hungry stomachs and satisfy acquired taste buds.
Read on to find out more.
1. Croissants
A full French experience is never complete without having some buttery and flaky croissants. The tedious baking process ensures that each and every bite you take is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Croissants are also the perfect accompaniment to your daily cup of tea or coffee at breakfast; a hearty meal to set your morning right for the rest of your day.
You can choose to fill your croissants with savoury ingredients like ours for extra flavour. Délifrance’s Mini Croissants come with fillings like Chicken Mayo, Egg Mayo, Seafood Mayo, and Tuna Mayo.
If you are ordering pastry boxes to be delivered to your upcoming party, make sure to include croissants as they are one of the most well-known French pastries!
2. Canapés
Canapés are small, decorative food pieces but do not be fooled by their aesthetically pleasing appearance - they taste just as good as they look. The bite-sized pieces make it easy to pop one into your mouth entirely to savour how each ingredient comes together for a burst of flavours.
They are ideal to be enjoyed on your own or served at a party, and can come in savoury or sweet options to satisfy all preferences. Délifrance’s Mini Fruit Tartlets are a refreshing treat while the Mini Tart Canapés are sure to liven up any event.
Mix some canapés into your pastry box orders as well for more variety.
3. Baguettes
This long and thin type of bread is a French staple that has endless possibilities - dip your baguette in soup, toast it and pair it with savoury toppings or simply eat it on its own with some butter.
Thanks to the versatility, serving baguettes at a party means giving your guests the autonomy to decide how they want to enjoy their bread. Or add some pizzazz to your party with Délifrance’s Mini Pizza Baguettes, a combination of Italian and French culture! It comes topped with chicken ham, olives and mixed capsicums with a tomato base sauce and cheese.
Add our pizza baguettes to your pastry box order for something different that will surely wow your guests.
4. Chouqettes
These little choux pastry puffs boast an addictively crunchy sweetness on the outside and a light cream filling on the inside for a dessert that one will never get tired of. They add the finishing touches to any party and are a must-try!
Délifrance’s Mini Pastries Box comes with a viennoiserie, a puff and two chouqettes so you get to try a variety of pastries to find your favourite.
5.Madeleines
If you enjoy pastries that are both sweet and savoury, then madeleines will tick all your boxes. Their shell-like design and shape are a sight to behold while you bite into soft sponge cake with a hint of butter and sweetness from the vanilla flavour.
While the traditional madeleine is vanilla-flavoured, bakeries have been experimenting with other variations to stand out from the crowd. Délifrance’s Chocolate & Pandan Madeleines are some you have to try!
Make sure to include madeleines if you are ordering a pastry box for a friend; the gorgeous shell-like shape and yummy taste will put a smile on their face.
6. Éclairs
Lastly, éclairs are a must-get if you have a penchant for sweet treats. It is a pastry made with choux dough, then filled with cream and topped with flavoured icing. This is another classic French pastry that you definitely have to try for a taste of France.
Although chocolate is the most commonly found flavour, Délifrance’s Assorted Mini Eclairs come in coffee flavour too, great for those who cannot go a day without some caffeine.
