Julien Dugourd, refined indulgence<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To kick off the year in style, Julien Dugourd<\/a> delights us with two Epiphany stars. The frangipane king cake is a flawless classic: crisp all-butter puff pastry and a melt-in-the-mouth almond filling. For those who love a taste of the South, the brioche with candied fruits and orange blossom is soft, fragrant and wonderfully convivial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
