The giant croissant fever has taken over social networks and Barcelona has not been left behind in this culinary trend.
Barcelona has succumbed to this gastronomic trend with the Hofmann patisserie. Their giant croissants have been a hit with locals and tourists alike.
This delicacy can be enjoyed in its classic version or filled with mascarpone, raspberry, mango or chocolate. Each piece must be pre-ordered, as they are not available for sale on a regular basis.
Prices range between 20 and 30 euros, and its size is ideal for sharing between four or six people.
A worldwide trend
Ever since French pastry chefs Cedric Grolet and Philippe Conticini revolutionized TikTok and Instagram with their incredible creations, the fanaticism for these crispy, shiny croissants has reached unsuspected levels.
Cedric Grolet, with millions of followers on his social networks, has become a reference in the world of pastry.
For example, at his pastry shop on Avenue de l’Opera in Paris, customers wait patiently for hours to try one of his famous croissants, which reach up to 40 centimeters in length.
Philippe Conticini has also conquered the virtual world with his gigantic croissants. His videos on TikTok showing the magnitude of these golden, crunchy buns have been a true viral phenomenon, adding views and followers.
Hofmann’s giant croissants: a delicacy that conquers Barcelona
The magic of these croissants lies in their perfect baking. Hofmann’s master pastry chef manages to keep the inside juicy and soft, without over-toasting the outside.
In addition to croissants, the Hofmann bakery also delights its customers with other giant delicacies, such as cream or chocolate chocolates.
His hyper-realistic pastries, such as pistachio cake or mango, are another of his great attractions.
The success of giant croissants lies not only in their impressive size, but also in the exquisiteness of their flavor and the mastery of the pastry chefs behind these creations.
This new culinary jewel is conquering the palate of lovers of good bread and pastries, and social networks are witnessing its popularity.
Giant XXL croissants: a true work of art
The XXL croissant is a pastry masterpiece that weighs more than 1 kg and is designed to be shared between 4 and 6 people, although those with a sweet tooth might try to eat the whole thing.
It is made with premium French butter and is a real temptation for puff pastry fans. But the jewel in the crown is the stuffed croissant, the same size and also made with French butter, but with a special touch.
It is filled with mascarpone, raspberry, mango or chocolate cream. Topped with coffee glaze and cocoa powder. Domiciles to Barcelona.
