New: the Lemon Almond Cake

We waited for it, it's here. Our latest creation is called the Lemon Almond Cake, and it's exactly the kind of dessert you want to bring out at the end of a dinner: bright, vivid, irresistibly fresh. The pastry that wakes up the palate and makes everyone at the table smile.

Four textures, one common thread

Lemon, from start to finish. But most of all, four layers working together to hold the balance in the mouth between tang, softness, crunch and sweetness.

• An almond streusel base, for the crunch and roundness.
• A lemon cream, for the brightness.
• A very lemony bavarois, for the airy lightness.
• A brown butter and almond cake, for depth and softness.

Every bite crosses all four. That's what makes the cake so satisfying: nothing dominates, everything answers.

Made at our Workshop

Like all our fresh cakes, the Lemon Almond is made in small batches by our team of pastry chefs, at our Chocolate Workshop in Greenfield Park, on Montreal's South Shore. No shortcuts, no mass production. Artisanal pastry, one piece at a time.

Also in our fresh cake collection

The Lemon Almond joins an already well-stocked family. Each cake tells its own story:

• The San Sebastián cheesecake, caramelized crust, molten centre, Basque-style.
• The Rocher Praliné, milk chocolate mousse, hazelnut praliné, caramelized hazelnuts, Juliette's favourite.
• The Pistachio Raspberry Cake, dacquoise, confit, bavarois, a perfect balance of tang and sweetness.
• The Mango Coconut Cake, tropical and light.
• Juliette's Tiramisu, our take on the Italian classic.
• The Cheese Raspberry Cake, inverted cheesecake, graham crumble on top.

The full fresh cake collection is browsable online.
