Gateau Saint-Honore

This is a traditional French cake named for Saint Honore, the patron saint of pastry bakers. It takes a lot of work and is very time consuming, but it is definitely well worth the effort! It isn't a recipe that you would want to make everyday, but what a way to WOW people on a special occasion :)

I loved this video! I actually have to make this as my final for a class and it really helped me on how to set up my mise en place and time line. I noticed that you didn't have a st. honore tip either, they are REALLY hard to find. Anyway awesome video.

Excellent effort- but where is creme chibouste? This recetta is so rare, thus I'm disappointed that It's not a genuine one. Sorry for being offensive. Keep up your good job as a good cook

@Kicess01 Hi there! I generally use skim milk because that is all we use in our house, but it can be made with 2% or whole milk. I've used all of these types of milk without any problems. I would suggest that you use the milk you are accustomed to. thanks so much for watching and taking the time to write! Take Care and stop by anytime :)

Hi, thanks for posting this video. What kind of milk do you use for this recipe. I've noticed that using lower fat milk doesn't give me the same results. Please let me know as I would love to make this recipe just right.
