Gift box of 9 Canele for $27
I’ll be doing a NYC canele round-up in the coming weeks but for now here’s an update from Dominique Ansel Bakery. What’s better than a fresh baked canele? How about a whole sleeve of them in a glossy yellow box? A large box of nine is $27. To appreciate how much work and precision go into these delicious treats, take a look at this canele recipe from Syrup and Tang.

While checking out the new gift boxes of caneles, I checked out the new lemon praline eclair.

The frangipane filling in the almond croissant is excellent. I learned that Ansel uses real vanilla beans to deliver the exact flavor profile he wants. The crust is perfectly flaky without dripping with butter.
Is this the best almond croissant in NYC?
