There would be rolled cakes, croissants, sugar brioche, lemon cake with fresh raspberry pepin and dusted coconut, chocolate mousse and many  more.

Chef Payard has planned an opening for  the end of summer or sometime early fall. There will be large windows in the kitchen so that people can watch the chefs in action. This is the first project resulting from the collaboration between Chef Payard and MARC. They have several other more ambitious projects planned that will roll out in the future.
