Short description
This pastry is a stacked choux dessert with glossy glaze and decorative cream seams.
Ingredients
Two filled choux buns are stacked and finished with glaze and piped cream.
Cultural note
It is associated with pâtisserie display cases, where its stacked shape makes it stand apart from simpler filled choux pastries.
Common misconception
It is not just a cream puff; the two-tier stacked form is the key visual cue.
