Ganache Pâtisserie has been one of our favourite bakeries in Vancouver for a long time. Situated in Yaletown, they have been creating amazing pastries since I can remember. It’s always a treat when I go to birthday parties or some sort of celebration and someone has bought a cake from them.
For this Fall and Winter, they have crafted 4 new seasonal flavours for the holiday season. We were invited to give these cakes a taste test.
Hojicha Sake Sésame
Hojicha Sake Sésame pairs hojicha, or roasted matcha tea, parfait with a coconut sake kasu panna cotta, elderflower-soaked goji berries with a black sesame chiffon cake and hojicha chocolate glaze.
This may look sweet because of the chocolate glaze, but it wasn’t as sweet as we thought. A good balance of flavours too.
Earl Grey Chocolat
Focusing on a classic black tea, Earl Grey Chocolat layers a moist Earl Grey chocolate cake with a fragrant Earl Grey mousseline filling and a layer of caramel crunch while an Earl Grey ganache is drizzled over top and accented with a dark chocolate tile and gold flakes.
The earl grey flavours really translate well through the cake and the layer of caramel crunch was a good added texture.
Paris Brest au Marron
A new take on a classic French pastry, Paris Brest au Marron fills the donut-shaped creampuff with a buttery chestnut mousseline containing crushed pumpkin seed nougatine, savory chestnut pieces and a Chai-spiced chantilly cream.
Different than the other cakes due to the shape, but it’s not too sweet either and good flavours for the holiday.
Noisette Caramel Chocolat
Noisette Caramel Chocolat combines a hazelnut milk chocolate cheesecake with a layer of moist chocolate cake, a light hazelnut Zephyr Caramel chocolate mousse and a milk chocolate caramel glaçage, dusted with toasted hazelnuts and fleur de sel.
Perfect for those who have a sweet tooth and are chocolate lovers.
Final Thoughts
Overall, 4 great flavours for the holiday and any occasion in the Fall and Winter. Ganache Pâtisserie has always been knocking out amazing pastries in Yaletown and continue to do so.
