A patisserie is a type of bakery that specializes in pastries and other sweet baked goods. Common offerings from a patisserie include puffs, DESSERTS, cakes, and duffs. Puffs are small, light pastries made with choux pastry, while DESSERTS are typically a combination of sweet ingredients such as fruits, nuts, and cream. Cakes are usually made with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, and duffs are deep-fried doughnuts.
