The Tarte Trop\u00e9zienne is a French cake that originated in Saint-Tropez and was created in the 1950s by pastry chef Alexandre Micka.<\/p>\n\n

Consisting of a brioche flavoured with orange blossom essence, garnished with sugar and filled with a light and tasty mousseline cream, the Tarte Trop\u00e9zienne is the result of a secret recipe invented by the Polish-born pastry chef, who was working in Provence at the time. The soft cake also won over one of cinema’s most glamorous actresses, Brigitte Bardot, who had the opportunity to taste it in 1956 during the filming of ‘And God Created Woman’, which was shot in Saint-Tropez near Micka’s shop.<\/p>\n\n

Despite the secrecy of the recipe<\/a>, many pastry chefs have tried their hand at preparing the Tarte Trop\u00e9zienne, such as Giancarlo Bruno of Le Carr\u00e9 Fran\u00e7ais in Rome. To make these delicious treats that became a favorite recipe of Brigitte Bardot you will need: a planetary mixer fitted with a dough hook to knead the brioche and a leaf blade to whip the cream afterwards; a 20 cm diameter saucepan; a kitchen whisk; a marisa (spatula); a pastry roller; a food brush.<\/p>\n\n
