French pastries are famous worldwide for their elegance, delicate flavors, and beautiful presentations. At Pastry is Art, we bring a taste of France to North Miami and Miami, offering treats that capture the essence of a Parisian patisserie. Here’s a guide to some of the most popular French pastries you’ll want to try.

Croissants: The Classic French Breakfast Staple



One of the most iconic French pastries, the croissant, is known for its flaky, buttery layers. Made by folding butter into dough multiple times, croissants are light and airy, with a golden, crispy crust. They’re perfect on their own or filled with chocolate (pain au chocolat), almonds, or ham and cheese for a savory twist.

Éclairs: A Cream-Filled Delight

Éclairs are oblong pastries filled with rich cream and topped with a layer of icing. Traditionally filled with vanilla or chocolate cream, éclairs come in various flavors and are a must-try for anyone who loves creamy, indulgent desserts.

Macarons: Colorful, Delicate, and Irresistible

Macarons are sweet meringue-based cookies filled with ganache, buttercream, or jam. These delicate, bite-sized treats come in an array of colors and flavors, from classic vanilla and chocolate to pistachio, raspberry, and lavender. Macarons make for a beautiful and delicious addition to any dessert spread.

Tarte Tatin: The French Take on Apple Pie

This upside-down caramelized apple tart is a classic in French patisseries. Baked with a buttery crust and topped with caramelized apples, Tarte Tatin is served warm and is often enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Madeleines: The Perfect Tea Companion

Madeleines are small, shell-shaped sponge cakes with a light, airy texture. Often flavored with lemon or almond, these dainty cakes are perfect for pairing with a cup of tea or coffee. Their unique shape and soft crumb make them a delightful treat at any time of day.

Mille-Feuille: Layers of Cream and Pastry Perfection

Mille-feuille, or “thousand layers,” is a decadent treat made from alternating layers of puff pastry and pastry cream. With a crisp, flaky texture and creamy filling, this pastry is often topped with a glaze or powdered sugar, making it both elegant and indulgent.

Choux Pastry: The Base of Many French Classics

Choux pastry, or pâte à choux, is a versatile dough used in many French pastries, including cream puffs and profiteroles. These pastries are hollow on the inside, making them perfect for filling with cream or custard and drizzling with chocolate.
