Dating back to 1730, Stohrer is recognized with creating the Baba au Rhum pastry. When Marie Leszczynska, daughter of King Stanislas de Pologne, married Louis XV in 1725 she asked her father to allow his pastry chef Nicolas Stohrer to come to France with her. By the King's permission, Stohrer went to France where soon he became the patisserie for the court at Versailles. Stohrer created the famous threat Baba au Rhum by soaking brioche in màlaga wine and filling it with crème påtissière, which had been scented with saffron and raisins. Another Stohrer original creation is the èclair au chocolat, with the choux (dough) being shaped like the large dresses women wore during the 18th century.

Baba au Rhum is amazing but Puits d'amour are exceptionally delicious too! Definitely one of the best patisseries of Paris
