Sylvie Majorel at shop

We took over the family cake shop in 1998. It was created in the year 1900 by my great-grand father Frederic Majorel, and since then, we are all pastrycooks ! We are well known in Lozère for our specialties of crunchy cakes and other kind of desserts.

Pastrycooking is a very demanding job. The work starts very early. We usually get up at 5h00 in the morning. The making of fresh pastries starts at 5h30. Then, we prepare petit-fours and others cakes. Once everything is ready, the cooking can start. We start by fresh pastries (croissants, viennoiseries) then brioches and pies, followed by petit-fours and crunchy cakes. I finish by sponge cakes. Just in time to prepare the other desserts... that will take us to 12h30.

On the afternoons, we prepare the work for the next day. That includes the preparing of puff paste, the roasting of almonds, the making of home jams to coat next day pies, the making of home chocolate... And, of course, everything is done by hands.

Sylvie and Bruno Majorel in their shop

In the morning, our cake shop opens at 7h45 to welcome the first clients and propose them home made croissants of the day that are still warm !

It closes only at 19h15 on the evening.

Later, you can still order our pastries via the internet...
