Solo Pastry Chef Spends 5 Hours Making This Epic Wedding Choux Pastry ... Alone!

Today, we are going on to discover a fantastic bakery in the south of France, managed by a young couple, Kévin & Laurine. I featured Laurine in a previous video, a very hard-working woman baker who works non-stop all day and bakes by herself more than 300 breads per day! Check the video here :    • Solo Woman Baker WAKES UP at 3AM to make 3...  
We will check out Kévin's work with is focused on famous French pastries, cakes & tarts. He works alone non-stop from 4am until the closing time at 8pm.
He makes a wide range of delicious 'pâtisseries'. Everyday, he makes more than 10 types of French cakes & tarts, all made from scratch by hand, ranging from the emblematic 'éclair', raspberry & strawberry tart, 'tarte citron meringuée' to 'mille-feuille' and 'baba au rhum'.

Located in 'Cavignac', a small village in the southwest of France, this 'boulangerie-pâtisserie' is managed by a young couple in their late 20s. Kévin is the master 'pâtissier' chef who makes pastries and cakes, while Laurine is the master bread baker. When the previous owner retired, they took over the bakery in early 2022, but Laurine is an experienced baker with more than 12 years of experience. Every day, she prepares and bakes more than 300 breads by herself!

In a small village where the competition is high, they quickly became one of the favorite bakeries among the locals. So much so, that they were featured in the famous TV show 'La Meilleure Boulangerie de France' on the national TV channel M6, in which they won the competition of that episode!

This video is focused on the making of a 'pièce montée', which is a traditional French wedding dessert made from choux pastry, often shaped into a tall tower of cream-filled 'choux'. It’s usually held together with caramel or sugar, and is meant to be a beautiful and impressive centerpiece at weddings and big celebrations.
The making of that pastry took 5 hours ! The amount of work that it takes to make all these different types of desserts is unbelievable as many different creams & puff pastries & biscuits are used.
French bakeries should be celebrated for their hard work and how delicious the desserts are for such an affordable price!
