Fetish St Honoré by Maison Pierre Hermé, in stores from May 7 to June 30.
A dashing dandy with a voluptuous allure, Saint-Honoré doesn’t look his age. Born in 1847, it has retained its youthful elegance, an airy, graceful silhouette that attracts covetousness as soon as it appears… in the patissier’s window. Because, of course, Saint-Honoré is a cake. With a name like that, you’d give it to God without a confession… but don’t be fooled: as soon as you take it in your hands, it’s got you. Saint-Honoré leads the way. A Casanova of the taste buds, Saint-Honoré takes us to the most marvellous of gourmet delights.
For 2 months, Pierre Hermé revisits the Saint-Honoré in his own way. 5 highly personal interpretations of this classic French pastry.
SAINT-HONORE CLASSIQUE
Puff pastry, caramelized choux pastry, Madagascar vanilla custard and Chantilly cream
With its flaky pastry, soft choux pastry, creamy cream and crunchy caramel, the Saint-Honoré is the stuff of dreams. Pastry chefs and gourmands alike bow in unison before this great name in the repertoire… Pierre Hermé reinvents this Parisian classic in his own way. He lays the foundations, recalculates the proportions, rethinks the equation of voluptuousness. The result is a bomb of sensuality, where contrasting textures tickle the senses. Chantilly becomes a cloud. The abundance of Madagascar vanilla cream transports the senses to a land of delights.

SAINT-HONORE MONTEBELLO
Puff pastry, caramelized choux pastry, fresh strawberries and pistachio mascarpone cream
Pierre Hermé’s Saint-Honoré cake is a marriage of love. The perfect marriage of two flavors. While the pistachio mascarpone cream builds up its creamy texture on the puff pastry base, the second layer brings in its fresh strawberries for a dance. A well-tuned waltz between the sweet, slightly bitter note of the dried fruit and the tangy, lively fragrance of the red fruit. A beauty to be enjoyed without moderation.

SAINT-HONORE ISPAHAN
Puff pastry, caramelized choux pastry, rose-flavored mascarpone cream, litchis and fresh raspberries
In this Ispahan version, Pierre Hermé brings pink to the choux. A variation on the Saint-Honoré based on the house’s Fetish association reinterpreted. A romantic alliance of ultra-smooth rose mascarpone cream and the refreshing tandem of fresh strawberries and lychees. It’s all laid out on an airy puff pastry and surrounded by soft, crunchy caramelized choux pastries with an outrageously made-up headdress. How beautiful is the rose.

SAINT-HONORE INFINIMENT CITRON
Puff pastry, caramelized choux pastry, lemon cream, lemon flesh, lemon jelly, lemon confit, lemon Chantilly cream, shortcrust pastry
Reread your classics and then do as you please: sublimate the crisp, crunchy and creamy sensations of Saint-Honoré by playing with all the facets of lemon. Its bitterness, its acidity, its vivacity. A layer of puff pastry on which an airy lemon cream rests weightlessly. On top of this already explosive bed, a thin layer of shortcrust pastry embellished with preserved lemons and lemon jelly slips mischievously into the middle. Around it, caramelized choux reigns, the better to let an airy lemon whipped cream parade above. It leaves you frostbitten.

SAINT-HONORE CARREMENT CHOCOLAT
Puff pastry, caramelized choux pastry, chocolate mascarpone cream, dark chocolate crunch
The most marvelous of gourmet delights. The kind that flirts with fantasy. An ultra-chocolate that takes on all the facets of the Saint-Honoré cake. Its voluptuous allure, its crunchy choux, its delirious cream. When a dandy indulges in this cocoa-flavored delicacy, the result is a layer of puff pastry on which a mascarpone cream with melting chocolate rests, with chunks of chocolate praline puff sliding in for a crunchy surprise. For chocolate lovers.
