Soft and porous cream dough is wrapped in whipped cream, chocolate and even ice cream.
It is said that puffs were introduced to France in the16th century and were invented by a chef named Catherine de Medici.
The situation is that the Habs dynasty in Austria and the Bourbon dynasty in France have been exhausted by the long-term struggle for European dominance. Later, in order to avoid the interests of neighboring countries, the two sides reached an agreement on political marriage.
So the Austrian princess and the French Crown Prince held a wedding reception at Versailles. Puffs are the grand finale of the two countries' feast, which draws a stop to the long-term war. Since then, puffs have become a dessert symbolizing good luck and celebration in France. On festive occasions, such as the birth of a baby or the wedding of a newly married couple, people are used to piling puffs into towers to celebrate, which is called Croquembouche, symbolizing celebration and congratulations.
