about frangipane

While frangipane is the inspiration and symbol of our passion for everything we create, all our items are fashioned with a zeal for excellence in pastry and chocolate.

The style is influenced by French and Swiss traditions where the flavour is paramount and presentation sublime. The recipes have been passed down for centuries within a tradition of baking excellence. This tradition is our inspiration. Our products are seasonally driven, ensuring the highest quality possible.

the finest ingredients

Fresh, natural ingredients of the highest quality are always hand selected. Cultured Swiss style butter and fresh cream are daily staples and whole raw nuts and seeds are toasted and ground as required. During the summer and fall, our chef personally visits the Farmers Market every week to select the finest, freshest produce from local farmers - organic when available. Our recipes call for exquisite European chocolate and pure bourbon vanilla beans and extract, as well as authentic liqueurs and robust brandies.

Please come by to browse through our new selection of Frangipane's own beautiful new confections as well as carefully selected jams, cookies and candies from France, Switzerland, Spain and Italy.
