Easter spirit, palace dreams

Easter spirit, palace dreams

Eva Dessons | 4/4/22

Taste effects, textures, colors... the pastry chefs of the Parisian palaces are inspired. Here's a beautifully designed egg hunt.

  • The Ritz chocolate madeleine, by François Perret

624c3287f0247f677672dbf1

François Perret has designed three madeleines especially for Easter: shells containing homemade minichocolates with caramel fleur de sel, chocolate or praline almonds.

  • The chocolate bell at the Hôtel de Crillon, by Matthieu Carlin

624c3254ed249d24324cdbb1

The bells have rung! 900 g of dark chocolate mixed with fruit. Inside the bell hides a praline chocolate egg. One of the bells contains not the golden ticket, but a golden egg. The winner will receive a unique tea time at Jardin d'Hiver.

  • La Forêt de Notre-Dame du Burgundy, by Pierre-Jean Quinonero

624c33243103b276ff268433

For his very first Easter creation, the 2021 French Dessert Champion refers to Notre-Dame de Paris, with his original creation: an egg with a praline heart, covered with chocolate staves. The idea? To recall the wooden framework of Notre-Dame de Paris. The chocolates come from as far afield as Peru, Madagascar and Belize.

  • L'Œuf-Écorce du Shangri-La Paris, by Maxence Barbot

624c329b48e1573bc518932d

Wood is definitely in fashion: for his Easter creation, pastry chef Maxence Barbot unveils a trompe-l'oeil egg made from tree bark, topped with pistachio and hazelnut pralines. Inside, there's an ultra-gourmet surprise: a puffed rice bar.

  • Les Œufs Précieux du Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, by Naraé Kim

624c326948e1573bc5189327

An Easter egg worked like a jewel: the promise of a definitively technical creation. A trompe-l'oeil of precious stones inlaid in the egg thanks to the meticulous work of sugar and chocolate.

  • Chocolate creations from La Chocolaterie du Cheval Blanc Paris, by Maxime Frédéric

624c3216fbe8474ef92dfea5

Our Pâtissier de l'année 2022 and his teams have imagined chocolate creations for the occasion. A pure chocolate Fabergé-style Easter egg, featuring a carousel animated by a chocolate mechanism. There are also colorful caramel and praline eggs that look as if they came straight from the farm.

  • The Œuf-Bijou at the Bulgari Hotel Paris, by Guillaume Smagghe

624c31fd3103b276ff268422

For its first Easter, the Bulgari Hotel Paris presents an egg to share, imagined by pastry chef Guillaume Smagghe. The green chocolate snake surrounding the egg recalls one of Bulgari's flagship collections: Serpenti. The chocolate is 66%, with the crunch of Bronte pistachio and praline gianduja. Be careful not to get bitten.
