Cream Puff on Plate Porcelain Limoges Box

A cream puff sits on its own little plate, round and golden, looking freshly made. This hand-painted porcelain Limoges box, made in Limoges, France, celebrates one of the simplest and most beloved treats of the French bakery.

Choux to Choose

The cream puff, or chou a la creme, is made from the same light choux pastry as eclairs and croquembouche towers. Here the pastry and its plate are painted by hand, so the golden tones vary slightly from one puff to the next, just as they do fresh from the oven.

A Dessert Tray Lineup

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Joins pies, cakes, eclairs and macarons in a pastry collection
• A sweet fit for a bakery or dessert themed shelf

Served With a Smile

This is a charming present for a home baker who has mastered choux pastry, a bakery owner, or a friend who never skips dessert. Place it on a kitchen shelf beside cake stands, on a dining room hutch or on a tea tray among cups and saucers. It also makes a lighthearted thank-you for whoever brings the treats to every gathering.
