Nicknamed the "Picasso of the patisserie world," Pierre Hermé Paris's Christmas cakes are delicate, unexpected, and one-of-a-kind creations that captivate many every year.

This year's Christmas collection also features a wide variety of patisseries, macarons, and chocolates that are only available during this time of year. The theme of "NOEL 2019" is "Collection Trésors Cachés (= Hidden Treasures)." It expresses a new gourmet experience: discovering unknown flavors that combine ingredients to create multiple tastes, like a treasure hunt in a fantasy forest. An early unveiling event was held, and we report on it here. Are you ready to hunt for hidden treasures?!

Biche Ispahan

(¥6,210 / 17cm long x 9cm wide x 8cm high)
When it comes to Pierre Hermé Paris at Christmas, Biche is the name to remember. This year, the Maison's signature "Ispahan" is dressed up in Biche. As you can see from the cross-section, the secret to its captivating flavor lies in the artistic layers created by the creative combination of unique ingredients.


The moment you put it in your mouth, the rose-flavored pound cake and rose-flavored cream instantly fill your mouth with the delicate scent of rose, creating an elegant experience. The crisp, juicy raspberries, fleshy lychees, and the taste of the "Ispahan" macaron pastry, known to all Pierre Hermé Paris fans, will bring you a moment of bliss.

Flocon Bayadère

(5,940 yen / Diameter 14cm x Height 10cm)
Flocon is a dome-shaped cake with an iconic snowflake motif. Its beautiful bright red appearance suggests an encounter with a new taste. A crispy sable base is layered with lime and passion fruit biscuit, strawberry compote jelly, and rhubarb jelly, all wrapped in a refreshing lime-flavored white chocolate mousse. Its sweet and sour, light and refreshing flavor will have you coming back for more. It's an addictive masterpiece that you'll want to eat forever.


When it comes to Pierre Hermé Paris patisserie, the temperature at which you eat it is also important. This "Flocon Bayadère" should be kept in the refrigerator until just before serving, and is best enjoyed cold.

Cheesecake Infiniment Chocolat

(¥5,940 / Diameter 15cm x Height 5cm)
Just as it looks, this cheesecake is truly all about chocolate. The chocolate coating on the outside and the chocolate baked cheesecake and chocolate mascarpone cream on the inside create a gentle and smooth texture. But that's not all, this is the inimitable artistry of this "Picasso of the pastry world."


By layering sable, chocolate biscuit, and praline containing cocoa nibs, a strangely crunchy and chewy texture is created. Furthermore, the tiny chocolate chips hidden in the mascarpone cream quietly make their presence felt and add an accent. This miraculous harmony in which each ingredient complements the other is a must-try. We recommend taking this out of the refrigerator a little before eating and enjoying it at room temperature.

Infiniment Vanille

(¥4,860 / Diameter 12cm x Height 4.5cm)
Vanilla beans have become increasingly rare and valuable in recent years. This sweet cake for adults is made with plenty of vanilla. The moist almond-flavored biscuit, vanilla cream, and surprisingly light blancmange bring out the best in vanilla, creating a truly exquisite taste.


A smaller size, 12cm in diameter, perfect for a Noel for two. A moment of ecstasy.


Also available are "Sarah" (17,280 yen / diameter 24cm x height 4cm), a combination of chestnut, matcha, and passion fruit, which is only available at the Aoyama boutique, and "Entremet Glacée Envie" (6,750 yen / diameter 13cm x height 6cm), an ice cream cake that combines the flavors of cassis, vanilla, and violet, which is only available online.

This year, enjoy a Christmas that stimulates all five senses with Pierre Hermé Paris cakes!
