The world's legendary confectioneries worth visiting: TOP 3
Dessert is a dish that can bring you back to life, cheer you up, and give you aesthetic pleasure. Of course, many sweet delicacies can be prepared at home, but there are some iconic desserts that are worth traveling halfway around the world to taste.
Today, FoodOboz editorial team shares a selection of three of the world's best pastry cafes, where the history of legendary desserts began: "Zaher," macaroons, and the American croissant.
To the Demel confectionery for the Zaher cake

The world-famous Sacher cake, a delicate chocolate dessert, was created in the Demel confectionery located in Vienna, Austria. The original recipe was invented by Austrian pastry chef Franz Zaher while studying at Demel. And the dessert here is called "Demel Zaher Cake". And all because in 1965 the Hotel Sacher and the Demel confectionery fought for the name. The hotel won. But this did not change the attitude of the confectionery bakers to the dessert itself. The Zaher cake in this confectionery is made only by hand. The place has a museum of confectionery art, which is open to everyone. Many other delicious desserts are also prepared here.
To Dominique Ansel Bakery for an American croissant

The ordinary sign and appearance of the Czech Stop bakery in the small town of West, Texas, are unlikely to attract tourists. But the locals know that here you can find an original American croissant. It is distinguished from other dough products by a delicate soufflé and pieces of fruit. Everything is made in Czech confectionery traditions, which means that this dessert will definitely be juicy. The bakery is open around the clock, so if you want desserts in the middle of the night, it's no problem.
To the Laduree pastry shop for macaroons

It was in the Laduree patisserie that the world-famous macaroon recipe was originated. The first small bakery named after its founder, Louis Ernest Laduree, appeared in 1862 on an ordinary Parisian street called Rue Royale. But one day Louis decided to completely change the look of his bakery, turning it into a place for Parisians to relax. To do this, he invited the French artist and graphic artist Jules Péreux, who painted the entire store. One of the elements of this mural still symbolizes the entire chain of pastry shops: the logo contains an image of an angel.
The whole world learned about the confectionery only fifty years after it was founded, in the 1930s. Back then, Louis Jules's grandson joined two halves of a cookie with a creamy chocolate cream. The Parisians liked the small, neat cakes so much that the fame of them spread throughout Europe, and then all over the world.
