Is there an ideal temperature or way to warm the sweets so they taste their best?

Depending on the product, there are recommended ways to enjoy it.
• Canelé de Bordeaux: Warming it for 3–5 minutes in a toaster oven that has not been preheated makes the caramel on the surface crisp, giving it a texture close to freshly baked.
• Brown Butter Financier: Warming it in a toaster oven for about 1–2 minutes gives it a texture and aroma close to freshly baked.
• Linzer Torte: The ideal serving temperature is 5–20°C.
• Lemon Cake (with icing): We recommend letting it sit at room temperature for a little while to enjoy the fluffy texture of the cake, or, in summer, enjoying it chilled straight from the refrigerator.
Toaster ovens heat differently depending on the model, so please keep an eye on the sweets while warming them to avoid burning.
