FEATURED FLAVOR – SPRING 2025

Saint-Tropez! (Tarte Tropézienne) is a famous dessert from Saint-Tropez, France. It is a rich and delicious lemon mascarpone cream cake. It was originally created in 1955 by Polish baker Alexandre Micka, based on a recipe he recalled from childhood. The name was suggested by Golden Age of Cinema actress Brigitte Bardot while she was filming “And God Created Woman” in Saint-Tropez — she loved the dessert and helped popularize it.
