The Canelé Bordelais,
By Douceur De France™
(special order only)

Why one full page only for the canelé?
Well, the answer is in the question itself! 

Because we are talking about The Canelé: rum, vanilla and caramel cake,
the real one from Bordeaux, France.

This pastry has a very special history: 
It seems that there are a lot of different versions of this story, 
so we will present here what's common among all these stories:

The Canelé's origin seems to go back in the 18th or 19th century, 
in the Annonciades'convent in Bordeaux.

It's made with eggs, flour, milk, butter, vanilla and rum.
Bronze cake pans were used, and the nuns 
used to cook them in ember, on the city's docks.

Some are now using flexipan or other synthetic mold 
because they are easier to use and cheaper.

At Douceur de France™, we are proud to use 
copper and inox steel molds which are the only ones 
to give the canelés their unique caramelized crispy crust.

The only other thing we can tell you now is: 
come and try by yourself this original pastry, 
made for you like nearly 200 years ago in France. 
The Canelé is available at Atlanta, and only at Douceur de France™!
