Saint-Honoré Cake
A Classic French Showstopper
The Saint-Honoré Cake is the ultimate celebration of classic French pastry — a showstopping combination of crisp puff pastry, caramel-dipped choux puffs, and a billowy swirl of light, airy crème chiboust. It looks like something you’d only find in a pâtisserie window, but with a little patience and some step-by-step guidance, it becomes an incredibly rewarding project for the home baker. Each component brings its own texture and flavor, from the caramel’s snap to the cream’s silky lift, and assembling it all together feels like a mini masterclass in French technique. The result is a dessert that’s dramatic, elegant, and undeniably delicious.
