Cream Puff French Pastry Limoges Box

A cream puff, light as air and filled to bursting, earns a permanent place in the pastry case on this sweet little box. It is a hand-painted porcelain Limoges box from Limoges, France, honoring one of the stars of the French patisserie.

Choux Pastry Perfection

Cream puffs are made from pate a choux, the same dough behind eclairs and the towering croquembouche served at French weddings. This porcelain version captures that familiar round puff, minus the powdered sugar on the fingers.

Patisserie Window Display

It belongs on a kitchen shelf, a coffee bar or a dessert buffet at a bridal shower. It makes a delicious present for a pastry chef, a bakery owner, a friend just back from Paris, or anyone who never skips dessert. Hosts of a French tea party will love it as a thank-you, and it is a fun birthday surprise to tuck beside a cake. A row of pastry boxes on one shelf looks like a little Paris bakery window.
