Viennoiserie, Pastries & Cookies
Viennoiserie refers to a class of baked items including the ever popular croissant, the majority of which achieve their delicacy and flakiness from a process called lamination. A warm milk dough is wrapped around a piece of butter and then repeatedly folded, rolled and chilled until a minimum of a hundred layers of dough and butter are formed. When popped into a hot oven, the liquid in the butter between the layers evaporates and the shaped dough puffs up creating a light, tender pastry.
We’ve been making our Viennoiserie pastry in the classic French manner for over 40 years. We use only pure, local butter and carefully layer the dough over 3 days, baking it fresh every day to create a variety of shapes and flavors.
These include:
Croissant
Bear Claws—with almond filling
Pain au Chocolat—the traditional after school treat of French children
Danish Pastry—our style with combinations of fresh and whole fruits, cream cheese and almond paste
Cinnamon Guys—our original cinnamon and sugar treat
