Moulin Rouge

Bold, Brilliant, Unforgettable.

Named after Paris's most iconic cabaret, the Moulin Rouge is Boulangerie Christophe's most dramatic creation — a cake as vivid and theatrical as its namesake. A light vanilla genoise sponge layered with fresh raspberry compote and whipped vanilla cream, encased in a glossy deep red mirror glaze and finished with bold chocolate and raspberry decorations. Bright, fresh, and intensely fruity — this is the cake that commands attention the moment it arrives at the table.

The Vanilla Genoise

Christophe's genoise is made the classic French way — whole eggs and sugar whisked over gentle heat until pale, thick, and tripled in volume, then flour and clarified butter folded in with a light hand to preserve every bubble of air. The result is a sponge that is feather-light, springy, and perfectly even — the ideal canvas for the bold raspberry flavors that define this cake.

The Raspberry Compote

Made daily from fresh raspberries, sugar, and a squeeze of lemon — cooked briefly until the fruit breaks down into a thick, intensely flavored compote that is tart, bright, and deeply aromatic. Spread generously between each layer of genoise, it provides the vivid fruit flavor that makes the Moulin Rouge unmistakable.

The Whipped Vanilla Cream

A light crème chantilly — heavy cream whipped with powdered sugar and the seeds of a Madagascar vanilla bean until soft, billowy, and fragrant. It balances the tartness of the raspberry compote and adds a cool, airy richness to every bite.

The Red Mirror Glaze & Decoration

The assembled cake is finished with a deep crimson mirror glaze — poured at precisely the right temperature to coat the cake in a single, perfectly smooth, intensely colored layer. Christophe finishes each cake with fresh raspberries, dark chocolate decorations, and edible gold leaf — a nod to the glamour and spectacle of Montmartre.
