La Toque Cuivrée

At the beginning of the XXᵉ century, the canelé resurfaced, with the recipe being taken over and improved. Over time, this pastry became the emblem of the city of Bordeaux.

 La Toque Cuivrée played a crucial role in the development of this traditional pastry. It took exceptional expertise and years of experimentation to create the perfect canelé. 

For over 30 years, our establishment has been dedicated to the production and sale of this delicacy, the canelé. A delicious, unmissable speciality of Bordeaux cuisine. By all accounts, our canelés are the best in Bordeaux!

The history of the canelé

It was in Bordeaux that the crunchy little pastry with the flavour of rum and vanilla was born. It was first known as "canelat", from the Gascon language, which was still the language traditionally spoken until the 20ᵉ century. In fact, this is the spelling that will be retained to this day.

It was in the hands of the nuns of the Annonciades convent, located behind the church of Saint Eulalie, that the canelé found its roots. The essential ingredients, wheat and egg yolks, were collected from the docks where the boats docked. Rum and vanilla were found naturally on the quays, thanks to Bordeaux's role in their export, and they used them to improve their recipe.

Our tips for even tastier canelés!

To keep your canelés as long as possible, it's essential to keep them in the fridge for a maximum of three days. To preserve their crispiness, it is also advisable to bake them a little longer. To do this, put the canelés in the oven at 220°C for about three minutes.
