[Collection de Noël Café Pouchkine / 巴黎普希金咖啡館聖誕節蛋糕創作] (中文請按「繼續閱讀」)

This Tuesday I was invited to Café Pouchkine for discovering their Christmas cake collection (bûche de Noël in French). People might find it early, but it's really time for all pastry shops and chefs in Paris to launch their Christmas collections already as there's a lot of preparation and communication work to do. This year, the young and talented pastry chef Nina Métayer has created 3 bûches, "Cigarette russe", rendering the Russian image and heritage of the café (individual version available), "Skoulptoura", a well-sculpted red fruit bûche, and "Masha & Michka", based on a popular Russian animation series for children.

Three of them tasted good, texture fine and delicate (click on the photos for further info). I love especially the Masha & Michka one for its wonderful harmony of honey, caramelised pears, nougat, and almond. However, I do find the other two somehow a bit typical. But I guess we are all spoiled by the amazing works we see and taste everyday here in Paris.

經巴黎普希金咖啡館(Café Pouchkine)邀請,本週二一早我就到了位於巴黎瑪德蓮廣場的分店品嚐他們的聖誕節蛋糕系列。更興奮的是還因此見到了心中的偶像之一,年輕的女主廚Nina Métayer。大家也許會訝異怎麼這麼早就預告聖誕節蛋糕,但確實,在巴黎從九月中開始,每個甜點店、甜點主廚便紛紛開始向媒體與大眾推出他們的作品,畢竟聖誕節是一年中最重要的節日,不管是公關宣傳還是提早製作、備貨都需要夠長的準備時間。

今年Nina主廚創作了三款聖誕節蛋糕,分別是傳達俄羅斯印象的「Cigarette russe」(俄羅斯雪茄,也有單人尺寸)、以紅莓果為主角的「Skoulptoura」、和以極受歡迎的俄羅斯兒童動畫「Masha & Michka」(一個淘氣的小女孩Masha與她的大熊好朋友Michka)為主題的系列。

三款蛋糕味道都很清爽且細緻,但裡面我最喜歡的是Masha & Michka的蜂蜜、焦糖西洋梨與牛軋、杏仁的組合。其餘兩款對我來說有些缺乏新意(記得點照片看詳細的組成),但我想可能也是我已經被巴黎的甜點與甜點主廚們慣壞了😅

普希金咖啡館一向以精緻華麗的甜點外型出名,咖啡館內也是金碧輝煌,這個去年年底開幕的瑪德蓮分店比春天百貨和Saint-Germain大道的分店都舒適寬敞許多,更有大面積自然採光。下次大家來巴黎,逛街逛累了可以順道來此喝杯下午茶。

🎈別忘了明天(9/30)晚上台灣時間20:30,我與@Bonheur Bonne Heure Pâtisserie 的主廚Claire有場巴黎甜點鑑賞直播,會為大家品嚐一些巴黎新甜點店的作品,別忘了準時收看喔!
