What’s the most unique Kings’ Cake at Baiman’s Cake?

But it is certainly the second creation that won us over this year: the cinnamon frangipane galette designed for 5 to 6 people at €36. This version updates the traditional recipe with a twist reminiscent of American cinnamon rolls. The harmony between the creamy frangipane and the fragrant cinnamon works wonderfully. You get that satisfyingly flaky puff pastry, the nostalgic note of cinnamon that transports you back to childhood snack times, and a bold, distinctive flavor profile. A delightful discovery that’s rare in the world of original king cakes, where the usual variations tend to be limited to chocolate or apple fillings.

These artisanally crafted galettes are the result of a wonderful collaboration between Amelle, founder of Baiman's Cake, and Anthony Nguyen. A passionate pastry chef who has already made his mark in several Parisian establishments, Anthony brings his expertise in lamination. After a stint at Cheval Blanc with Maxime Frédéric, Anthony transitioned in 2022 to focus on honing the delicate craft of lamination — the meticulous process of layering dough to achieve the signature crunch of a perfect pastry. At Baiman's, he also runs workshops called "From Butter to Heart," where enthusiasts can learn to craft croissants and galettes the traditional way.
