Bûches de Noël 2023 by Candy Paradis: Christmas delights to melt your heart!

As the festive season approaches, the Parisian culinary scene lights up with the presentation of the new Bûche de Noël 2023. Candy Paradis, driven by Karine Chiche 's passion for patisserie, stands out for its sincere, creative approach to sweet gastronomy. Karine, a former Cake Design champion, offers us a unique creation this year.

"Paradis Gourmand", one of Candy Paradis ' two 2023 logs, is a culinary work of art made up of five individual portions, each with its own personality and flavor. It's a veritable gustatory voyage, designed to offer a harmonious yet varied experience.

• Le Renne de Noël: This portion is a chocolate lover's paradise, with its dark chocolate mousse with a creamy caramel heart, roasted and salted peanuts, on a gourmet chocolate cookie.
• La Boule de Noël: Refreshing and light, this portion combines a coconut mousse with a creamy insert and lemon and lime gel with lime zest, delicately set on a lemon almond cookie.
• Le Bonnet du Père Noël: Exoticism in the mouth with its cheesecake mousse, with its creamy mango passion heart and mango passion confit with fresh mango tartar on its small coconut cookie.
• Le Bonhomme de Neige: Inspired by the Black Forest, this section combines a vanilla ganache with a heart of cherry and morello cherry confit, and a dark chocolate-cherry ganache on a delicate chocolate cookie.
• L'Ours Blanc: A tribute to pistachio, with pistachio ganache, pistachio praline, pistachio cream and pistachio cookie.

This Christmas log is perfect for those wishing to explore innovative flavors and varied textures. It will appeal to curious palates and lovers of culinary discovery. On the other hand, it may be less suitable for those who prefer simpler, traditional flavors.

Candy Paradis ' signature log "L'orange de Noël" is a creation that combines visual art and gustatory experience. This trompe-l'oeil is both aesthetically impressive and gustatory, appealing primarily to fans of bold, fresh flavors. With its refined blend ofcitrus fruits, this log is ideal for gourmets looking for a dessert out of the ordinary. Its refreshing lightness makes it the perfect choice to round off a hearty meal, especially for those who appreciate a delicate balance between acidity and sweetness. Its limited-edition nature and higher price (€220 for 15 people) make it ideal for those looking to celebrate special occasions with an exclusive dessert.

On the other hand,"Christmas Orange" may not be for everyone. Those preferring more traditional, less citrus-focused desserts, or those looking for more affordable options might not be drawn to this creation. What's more, as its availability is limited to pre-ordering before December 1, it's not accessible to those planning last-minute purchases. In short, this log is a culinary work of art designed to amaze and surprise, but it's aimed at a specific audience who loveinnovation and are ready to invest in a unique pastry experience.

Candy Paradis' 2023 Yule logs, designed with care and passion by Karine Chiche and her dedicated team - Khrystyna Duzinkevych, Manuela Carreras, and Sandrine Amsellem - are an invitation to celebrate the diversity of flavors and creativity in patisserie. It's a tribute to gourmandise, bringing a touch of magic to the Parisian festive season.

Both logs are available in a very limited edition, pre-ordered until December 1, subject to availability.
