On this day we celebrate a light airy creamy desert. Although the origin of cream puffs is still a mystery, it is still believed to have originated in Europe and passed down from one pastry chef to another.
Cream puffs are deserts that have been loved by Americans for a long time. These delectable bites of history transport us to quaint Parisian cafes and Renaissance Europe.
Elegant Victorian dinner parties often featured cream puffs in elaborate designs, and sometimes, cooks would make pyramids of tiny, delicate cream puffs that guests could have with after-dinner tea or coffee.
So mark your calendars and get ready to indulge in this creamy delight on January 2nd!
