A Cream Puff Story



I have to agree,nothing is impossible.


We are so familiar with cream puff.If you you think it's true that you can conceive exactly the feeling of having a cream puff in your mouth then I shall say Beard Papa® is something that makes it inconceivable.If you are someone like me,define cream puff as whipped cream wrapped in flaky soft cake that can never be categorised to high class dessert,you must find a store near you and try a vanilla puff immediately;if you are a puff lover and and want to retain confidence on self-made cream puffs or would like to have different puffs every time then you'd better skip Beard Papa®,because you won't want to try others after a Beard Papa® cream puff.


It's clear that Beard Papa® has made effort on both the puff and filling,the outside short crust(don't ask me how it is done) makes the puff crispy and flavourful,with n appearance that resembles a flower with petals.To maintain its crispiness,Beard Papa insist fill the puff only after you've paid.It's normal to see customers waiting in line for filling their puffs,but there's more to see.Sometimes you can catch the scene of assistants processing vanilla sticks for the pastry cream filling!Isn't it impressive in this commercial world,especially in oriental world where vanilla is grown almost nowhere!


By a glance you may consider it "unbelievably expensive"--a puff=2kg flour?I became aware how this equation proved true after a first buy.


By compare I also bought some Brownie®'s puff,which is also praised highly by the public and runs much the same way with Beard Papa®.I'm sorry for giving it such an opponent.As you see,the puff dough has a crumb opping which makes it somewhat better than small puffs,but obviously flavourless and soft compared to Beard Papa®,the filling is...thumbs up if Beard Papa® filled its puff with whipped cream but now...the two versions of pastry cream is definitely not on the same level,just like the gap between high quality chocolate and very cheap one.Thank you Beard Papa®,I think I've discovered a pastry cream superior to Gourmet Corner's!
