A New Floral Gift Box
A great admirer of the Maison and its playful spirit, artist Willemien Bardawil followed the joyful impulses of her appetite and her brushes to illustrate a brand-new gift box for the Maison.

Hidden beneath this bouquet of pastel and golden flowers is an assortment of fruit pastes, candied apples, and almond paste. Enough to delight you and make a lovely gift!
Behind the Scenes
The making of our little candied apples is a truly delightful sight. Made from a low-sugar almond paste with a higher almond content, they are decorated by hand and then coated with a thin layer of candied sugar that protects their incomparable softness.
Plump, soft, and tangy, our fruit pastes are made in our workshop using fruit purées with no added flavors or colorings. A delicious treat…
