    What kind of cream puff is the Oven-Baked Cream Puff?

    It is our classic cream puff: a crisp cookie-crust choux generously filled with a rich cream that combines fresh cream with custard made using “Sakura” eggs from a purely Japanese chicken breed.
    It must be kept refrigerated; please eat it on the day of purchase. We also offer a caramel-flavored version, the “Oven-Baked Caramel Cream Puff.”
    For details, please see the Oven-Baked Cream Puff product page.

    What Are Meringue Cookies?

    Meringue cookies are sweets made by baking and drying meringue, which is egg white and sugar whipped together. At Parade, we use kibi sugar (Japanese cane sugar) and finish them with a light texture: a crisp first bite, then an airy, fizzy melt in your mouth.

    What kind of sweet is a sablé diamant?

    True to its name, which means “diamond” in French, this is a sablé coated with sugar that sparkles around the outside. For the sugar coating, we use vanilla sugar that we make by hand in our shop from vanilla bean pods.
    It keeps for about 3 weeks. Please store it in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures and humidity. It is also included in our baked goods gift boxes.
    For details, please see the Sablé Diamant product page.

    Is the Galette Bretonne available both with and without rum?

    Yes. It is available both with rum and without rum. The individually sold Galette Bretonne contains rum. The rum-free version is included in our gift boxes. Please contact the store to ask whether it can be purchased individually.

    What kind of sweet is a Linzer torte?

    The Linzer torte is a sweet associated with Linz, Austria, combining a nut pastry with jam. At Parade, we layer a cinnamon-scented pastry, almond batter and our house-made framboise (raspberry) jam, and bake them together.

    What baked goods can I choose as a gift (temiyage) from Fushimi?

    We offer Gifts M and L, assortments of our classic baked goods; Gift S, with sweets made with rice flour; and a gift that includes honey from Kyoto Higuchi Apiary. You can choose based on the number of pieces, the ingredients, and the recipient’s preferences. As a guideline, the baked goods keep for about 2 weeks from the date of manufacture.

    How do the gift boxes differ by type?

    They differ in the types and number of sweets they contain.
    ・Classic Baked Goods Gift Box M [9 types, 9 items]: 2 types of sablé (12 pieces each), Galette Bretonne, 3 types of madeleine, financier, Sésame Matcha, Boule de Neige Chocolat
    ・Classic Baked Goods Gift Box L [9 types, 15 items]: 2 types of sablé (12 pieces each), Galette Bretonne (2 each without rum and with rum), Honey Madeleine, Madeleine Chocolat (without liqueur), financier, Sésame Matcha, Boule de Neige Chocolat
    ・[Gluten-Free] Gift Box [S]: 4 Honey Madeleines, 2 Madeleine Chocolat (without liqueur), 2 Sésame Matcha, 2 Boule de Neige Chocolat
    ・Gift Box [M] with Higuchi Bee Farm: 8 classic baked goods in 7 types, plus Wildflower Honey (160 g) from Kyoto Higuchi Bee Farm
    The sweets made with liquor are the Galette Bretonne (with rum) in the L box and the Madeleine Chocolat (with liqueur) in the M box. For full details, please see the list of gift boxes.

    What kinds of honey, eggs and chocolate do you use?

    The ingredients we use vary by product. Our main ingredients are as follows.
    • Honey: Purely Japanese honey from Higuchi Apiary in Fushimi, Kyoto (Honey Madeleine, Caramelized Honey Canelé, etc.)
    • Eggs: “Sakura” eggs from purely Japanese-bred hens (Oven-Baked Cream Puff, Canelé de Bordeaux, Honey Madeleine, etc.)
    • Chocolate: Chocolate from Valrhona of France (Madeleine Chocolat, etc.)
    • Butter: Cultured butter (Brown Butter Financier, Galette Bretonne, etc.)
    Please check each product page for that product’s ingredients.

    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.

    How many people do Size 4, Size 5 and Size 6 whole cakes serve?

    Parade’s “Decoration Cake with Fresh Cream and Seasonal Fruit” serves approximately 3–4 people in Size 4, 4–6 people in Size 5 and 6–7 people in Size 6. Please choose a size based on how much will be eaten and whether it will be served together with other sweets.

    How long can I carry a cake? Do I need ice packs or an insulated bag?

    Please plan on carrying it for about 1 hour. Conditions vary depending on the temperature, the type of cake and how you travel, so if you are planning a long journey, please consult the shop before purchase.

    Can I have a message plate or candles added to a birthday cake?

    The “Decoration Cake with Fresh Cream and Seasonal Fruit” comes with an original cookie plate and 1 set of 5 candles. A charge applies to candles from the 2nd set onward.

    Are the sweets for sharing at work individually wrapped? How many people can a gift serve?

    The Classic Baked Goods Gift is an assortment of sweets packed in individual bags. Note, however, that “9 items” does not mean 9 pieces: some items, such as the sablés, contain several pieces in one bag. Please think separately about how many people you are giving to and how many bags you want to give each person.

    What is the difference between a financier and a madeleine?

    Generally, a financier is characterized by the flavors of egg whites, almonds, and browned butter, while a madeleine is typically based on a batter made with whole eggs. At Cafe & Sweets Parade Kyoto, we offer the Brown Butter Financier and a madeleine made with rice flour and honey.

    Do canelés taste better warmed? How do you recommend eating them?

    If you warm Parade’s Canelé de Bordeaux for about 3 to 5 minutes in a toaster oven that has not been preheated, the caramel on the surface becomes crisp, and you can enjoy a texture and aroma close to freshly baked. Because heating varies by model, please keep an eye on it while it warms.

    Can cakes and baked goods be frozen?

    Because ingredients and finishing differ from product to product, we do not state that all cakes and baked goods can be frozen under the same conditions. Please first check each product’s storage instructions and date label. If you plan to freeze a product, please consult the shop before purchasing and tell us the product name.

    What is the difference between sablés, cookies and galettes?

    “Cookie” is a name for a wide range of baked goods. “Sablé” is used as a name describing a texture that crumbles softly like sand, and “galette” is used for sweets with a flat shape, among other things. Parade’s Galette Bretonne is a thick-baked cookie made with butter.

    Can I get paper bags, small bags for sharing or gift wrapping?

    In store, paper bags, plastic bags, bags for baked goods and gift wrapping are available for a fee. Prices vary by type and size. Please let us know how many you need and any wrapping requests before purchase.
