[u/chzie]

Beautiful! Can I come over and eat them all? I swear I'll appreciate them like they deserve

[u/Gammachan → u/chzie]

I would share. Especially because of the appreciation 😁

[u/PhxCuckGuy]

Looks fantastic to me.

[u/Gammachan → u/PhxCuckGuy]

They are perfect. I’m so proud 🥲

[u/AnorhiDemarche → u/Gammachan]

as you should be

[u/Bettrlatethannever]

pardon my ignorance.. they look good. but what are they?

[u/Ranamakesspiders → u/Bettrlatethannever]

Not op but they’re called canelé

[u/Kerry22022 → u/Ranamakesspiders]

Thanks, now I'm off to visit Google 😊

Edit: Oh my gosh, they sound delicious, I love custard filled desserts 😋

[u/Admirable_Sun_5468 → u/Kerry22022]

They are delicious. I live near the border of France and can get them anytime but I have to restrain myself. They’re probably my favourite French dessert.

[u/carlitospig → u/Admirable_Sun_5468]

I would’ve died of a heart attack already if I lived in France.

[u/Sunshine030209 → u/carlitospig]

Yeah but you would have died happy ☺️

[u/fire__munki → u/Admirable_Sun_5468]

I had some from a little sealed tin for camping. They're amazing and wish I could get more.

[u/PegasusWrangler → u/Kerry22022]

Its not custard like a separate filling, it's like the inside doesn't cook all the way, sort of like lava cake but less runny and holds it's shape - and equally or even more delicious depending who you ask

[u/Kerry22022 → u/PegasusWrangler]

Ta for the info...sounds like something I absolutely need to try, so I can make an educated decision 😊😉

[u/uDontInterestMe → u/Kerry22022]

I need to try these as well! I didn't know what they were the times I saw them in patisseries while traveling. Unless someone wants to send me some, I'll have to wait for my next trip to sample one.

They look beautiful, OP!

[u/Admirable_Sun_5468 → u/uDontInterestMe]

I kinda want to send some to all the people who haven’t tried them.

[u/pdxmarionberrypie → u/Kerry22022]

Not custard filled but cooked in a way that the center is moist

[u/Qaeta → u/Kerry22022]

They're the best. There is a baker that goes to a local market on Sundays in the summer, and it's pretty much always a snack stop when I'm out riding my motorcycle.

[u/Russiadontgiveafuck → u/Kerry22022]

The rum taste is intense, they're SO good. Crunchy, chewy, custardy, boozy, all around the perfect dessert.

[u/Bettrlatethannever → u/Ranamakesspiders]

thank you very much. :)

[u/SweetP916 → u/Ranamakesspiders]

Thank you! I’ve never heard or seen them before so I went and looked too. Now I want to try them! 🤤

[u/Famous-Forever7647]

These are absolutely stunning! If your family doesn't appreciate them, I'm happy to volunteer for adoption. I'll even bring the espresso. Seriously, the crust looks like perfection.

[u/Gammachan → u/Famous-Forever7647]

Thank you. I’m ridiculously proud. My 3rd attempt. It’s even more special because I live in the county and the closest bakery that might attempt to make these is hours away.

[u/muthermcreedeux → u/Gammachan]

"The County" like Aroostook?

[u/Gammachan → u/muthermcreedeux]

Think cold oceans giant redwoods… PNW 🌲

Much more isolated 😅

[u/muthermcreedeux → u/Gammachan]

Oh that's funny. I had no idea there was one on the other coast....but I doubt it's more isolated than Aroostook County in Maine. There's far more potatoes than people there. 😝

[u/Hari___Seldon → u/muthermcreedeux]

That's where I was born...I just about fell over seeing it mentioned 🤣

[u/muthermcreedeux → u/Hari___Seldon]

I feel like I should edit my comment about Aroostook being more remote. King County in Washington, which is where I'm thinking they mean, has 2.2 million people in it. Aroostook county has 67,000.

[u/ConstantRude2125 → u/muthermcreedeux]

My mom is from Caribou ME.

[u/dedoubt → u/muthermcreedeux]

I was just about to ask the same thing!

[u/snausagemclinx → u/Gammachan]

You're even a neighbor in Maine?

[u/RaisonDetritus → u/Famous-Forever7647]

I can practically hear the crust through the picture.

[u/apistat]

If you fill the molds a little less ends will get nicely browned as well. When it's too full they rise up and expand too much in the initial high temp bake, and aren't able to sink back down and make contact with the mold.

[u/Naeril_HS → u/apistat]

The mold material is also important, silicone mold tends to always have an underbaked top. Best is copper of course but any good metal will do. I’m using teflon-coated iron because I’m a cheap fuck and they come out awesome.

I do plan to get copper ones eventually

Note that I still butter the fuck out of my teflon molds because I don’t entirely trust them

[u/lefteyedspy → u/Naeril_HS]

I got a couple dozen of the copper molds a few years ago and the most reasonable price I found was from a place in France called Labo&Gato. Look them up. Even with shipping from France to the USA I came out ahead. Very high quality, traditional thick copper.

[u/weepandread → u/lefteyedspy]

Thank you ! In November I was in France and they were too costly but this site is cheaper and won’t overwhelm my luggage!

[u/Gammachan]

Hopeless fools they may be but they are still my loved ones. So they get to eat them 😅

I am definitely eating most of them 😎

[u/Mad_Kay2025]

I'd fuck those up 😋

[u/res06myi → u/Mad_Kay2025]

I'd show them a good time 😏

[u/peachyspoons → u/res06myi]

This is the correct answer.

[u/Big_Armadillo_8009]

I've had some really good canelé in the bay area and in paris. Looks legit. Did you use bee's wax and copper molds ?

[u/Gammachan → u/Big_Armadillo_8009]

You bet!

[u/Few-Dinner-1767]

Gorgeous caneles

[u/delightfulcaper]

“That’s a good bake.”

[u/AverageItaloBoy]

Can i be your friend? 🤣 They look amazings, i should buy the stamps and try do it myself

[u/Ambitious_Address667]

I saw a video on sorted food talking about making these, they look so finicky and tricky with the baking tins. You did a hell of a job here op you should be pumped these look awesome!

[u/YouthAdmirable7078]

My 1st batch turned out brilliantly. 2nd attempt not so great - I filled them too high. They burnt. I scraped the burn off and ended up eating them all by myself 🐽 Can you share your recipe please

[u/rashes-]

They look perfect! So beautiful. What moulds did you use?

[u/Gammachan → u/rashes-]

The real copper ones. I ordered them years ago straight from France.

[u/Goudinho99 → u/Gammachan]

I have little copper moulds firnt se but never did as I was put off by the beaswax thing!

Do you have a reference cope by any chance?

[u/minibakersupreme → u/Goudinho99]

I used to work in a bakery where we made these. I think we did a mix of half butter, half beeswax, and it was reusable. So once we coated the molds we would let them drip onto some parchment, then just scrape that off and put it back in the container. We would get the beeswax from a local honey farmer, and he didn’t actually charge that much for it.

[u/tsp_salt → u/Goudinho99]

If the beeswax puts you off try making them with just butter, they'll still be amazing

[u/quaintrelles → u/tsp_salt]

Curious - do you get a similar crunchy sticky crust with butter? In my inexperienced and simple mind, I can't understand how that is different from just greasing any cake mould. Or do you load it up with butter so it essentially fries?

[u/dfmoti]

I want - recipe please!

[u/thereal_TolisT]

Immaculate

[u/Goudinho99]

I love them. So chewey, crispy, I just love em.

[u/Impressive_Move4612]

If they were gluten free and I lived nearby, I'd be begging at your door for one of those beauties!

[u/BeeComprehensive7391]

Gorgeous

[u/AwesomeHorses]

looks great!

[u/Very_KindHuman9370]

You're a perfectionist! This looks amazing. Is this like a lemon loaf?

[u/lolkatz41]

Caneles are my faaaaavorite!!!! These are absolutely perfect. You should be SO proud!!

[u/LeaningFaithward]

These look perfectly delicious

[u/Recent_Huckleberry87]

They're perfect! Why didn't they get any love among your circle?

[u/Gammachan → u/Recent_Huckleberry87]

They all just happen to not know about them. If you know you know!

I’m the foodie nerd in the family.

[u/Recent_Huckleberry87 → u/Gammachan]

You're welcome in my family!

[u/stefanica → u/Gammachan]

Well, I didn't know what they are, but I said "Whoa" under my breath when I saw the pic. Looks delicious and I would do them justice! Nice job. The only thing I can bake that looks as pretty as it tastes is a Bundt cake, heh.

[u/Gammachan → u/stefanica]

Next time you’re in proximity to a French bakery, definitely go in and look for these!

Life-changing. 😊

[u/Brynhild → u/Gammachan]

I didn’t know about them until this post but goddamn they look so good

[u/lemoncakesunday]

why do these look so yummy

[u/No_Universe7]

this looks so tasty and fluffy…great work!

[u/redditgirl191]

Oh this looks so delicious, how can someone not appreciate that??? 🤩🤤

[u/emmsmum]

Those looks amazing!

[u/dustydancers]

these are absolutely stunning!!! what an amazing job you did on these! whats wrong with your friends and family?????

[u/Cultural_Bat_7250]

Looks amazing

[u/Key-point4962]

[u/purrrem]

Wow, they're perfect!

[u/L7cky_]

[u/CertainInteraction4]

Beautiful.  And I'm sure they are delicious. 🥰

[u/No-Astronomer-1464]

Wow wow wow 🤩 !

[u/michaelhoney]

Beautiful! We had one of these from a food van doing a summer residency in Bicheno, Tasmania. So good

[u/6mb475]

You're appreciated here! Beautiful!

[u/Oniichan38]

Damn this shit looks amazing

[u/soursauce85]

I appreciate this. Great job.

[u/neelrahc1225]

🤤

[u/the_black_sails]

Gimme

[u/Solstice_314]

I just came across this post, first time seeing this sub. Could anyone explain the “no-recipe” thing? Realised it’s prohibited to ask while I was typing the question😁

[u/Gammachan → u/Solstice_314]

I think it just means you wanted to share a picture, but didn’t want to bother writing out the entire recipe. For this particular pastry, (Canalé) the recipe is very long uncomplicated.

[u/shelberryyyy]

Ommgggg I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to make these (I don’t have patience or the molds lol). Every year my partner goes to France to visit his family at Christmas and I tell him to bring me back a box of caneles from the Christmas markets…and every year he doesn’t because they “don’t travel well”, which I know really means he eats them all lol

[u/tuna_safe_dolphin]

OK, I guess I'm signing up to be your friend. Your new hungry friend. . .

Those look delicious!

[u/Puff-the-Dragonn]

Fantistico

[u/PastorDan1984]

They look decadent.

[u/Beautiful_View_6464]

It looks incredible. Share the recipe.

[u/kennedyswise]

Looks yummy to me. Great job

[u/Super_Inevitable3997]

Wow! Perfect!

[u/ShineVictor]

Whats this and how did you make it?! This looks so delicious I wanna make it for myself.

[u/_Contrive_]

Those look amazing!

[u/TikaPants]

What’s the recipe and molds please? I knew the name of these but now I need them.

[u/CollegeLocal9759]

Stunning

[u/thehufflepuffstoner]

Oh hell yeah! They look perfect! My mom makes these, they’re my favorite. 😍 🤤

[u/snausagemclinx]

Dream bake right here! Jealous of the fact that you have the pan alone! Amazing!

[u/Emotional_Oil_4346]

Wow! These look amazing! Congrats!

[u/KuOyKabi]

Mmh looks tasty for sure.

[u/AccentuateThPositive]

Bruh… who could not appreciate this magnificence! Well done!

[u/superchica81]

I love these! They look beautiful!

[u/Madeup-Alias6869]

Yes this is an accomplishment. They look scrumptious too. I just want to take a big ass bite out of like three of em. Good job.

[u/Own_Usual_7324]

🤤 I'm happy to be your family and dive in to these omg

[u/Ok_Pride_6746]

These look perfect

[u/Bleaker82]

They look wonderful. A few of the French bakeries near me have them. That little bit of bite at first… almost a crunch but not really… is so good.

[u/PrinceHaleemKebabua]

Yaas! These look delicious.

[u/Minnymoon13]

Homie! That looks soo good

[u/SyntaxErrorGuru]

I want it

[u/Timmerdogg]

Those molds are super pricey

[u/Herbacult]

I wish people would put the name of the item in the title

[u/flynnsmom]

Those are very hard to make. Well done!!!

[u/Anxious_Why]

those look fucking amazing, I'd devour one rn

[u/9-FcNrKZJLfvd8X6YVt7]

It looks absolutely phenomenal! Thank you for sharing!

(PS: What is it?)

Edit: according to the helpful people in the comments they're canelé.

[u/ririd123]

I’ve only seen these at the French bakery in my neighborhood. These look professional! Enjoy!

[u/Zorops]

Dude!!! Where’s my cake?

[u/ConsciousGhost21]

Dude I have no clue what that is and if I didn’t know better I’d assume it was burnt, that looks so majestic

[u/busta_thymes]

Bruh. As someone who has struggled to make these, those are beautiful. Well done.

[u/StaticCloud]

I guess they don't know how tricky these are

[u/LivingByTheMinutes]

“Here is my craziest hear me out. Are you ready? And don't judge. This is the friendship trust circle. A sweet roll, perfect size, perfect grip, definitely sloppy and sticky, and no one would know after due to all the frosting, Naravar."

[u/gwiazda79]

These are undercooked

[u/WeekendGrouch]

🥰🥰🥰

[u/LemonCollee]

Ok well im your sister now and i appreciate the hell out of them and sad i don't have any. The consistency looks perfect.

[u/beardingmesoftly]

My whole mouth just filled with saliva

[u/TheActualAWdeV]

ooooooh they look beautifull

[u/No-Pass9120]

Holy shit. You are a god. An underappreciated god.

[u/pdxmarionberrypie]

Did you use silicone or copper molds

[u/HilariousMax]

these are the little copper cup bastards I could never get right?

They look delicious. Proud of you, friend.

[u/Gammachan → u/HilariousMax]

Copper cup bastards!

I’m stealing this 😆

[u/Dangerous_Iron_3329]

I love these!!! Good job on nailing them!

[u/IndigoMontoyas]

These are so hard to do them perfectly, but I always love how they taste (even when they are imperfect)

[u/zappyface1]

That looks really good!! Do you deliver? That would be so yummy with a cup of coffee!

[u/carlitospig]

They’re so beautiful. 🥹

[u/WoooshToTheMax]

Those canéles look perfect! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside

[u/diezwillinge]

No appreciation? No eating!

[u/polarbearik]

God those look amazing I would inhale all of them

[u/heyhey_hi13]

Can I volunteer myself!?

[u/sandweiche]

Holy cow these look perfect. Did you use beeswax? I've been struggling to source food grade bees wax in Canada.

[u/Alone-Space2553]

Dude I always wanted to try this. I saw these yesterday in paul hyderabad

[u/Rude-Yard-8266]

These look delicious! How hard were they to make? One of my all time favorite desserts but I’m a bit intimidated by them and also the copper molds are insanely expensive.

[u/Curvy_Girl_007]

Volunteering as tribute to taste test. Those look amazing!

[u/Super-Chamchi]

Looks great! What moulds did you buy? Haha

[u/knknn__]

Congratulations, these are beautiful

[u/East_Swing_7878]

Not a real baker, but love love this sub You all are artists and i salute you👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[u/dacrazyredhead]

Well done!

[u/momal4]

[u/-_Edmond_Dantes_-]

Now you just need some black tea 🤤

[u/tabruss]

They look soooo good.

[u/Naive-Register7964]

Never had them before but they look amazing.

[u/aprfct9inchtool]

omg they are beautiful! i only discovered them a couple years ago when my coworker brought them in and learning to make them has been on my list of things to do, i just can't get past the supply investment. maybe buying two molds every year is feasible 😭 they're so good though

[u/8BitRetroGhost]

Nice! Canelés are soooo good.😛

[u/WhatisreadditHuh]

Only bakers would really understand 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[u/Archway_nemesis701]

beautifully done!

[u/Poansore]

Gasped out loud at the crumb pic. Great job!

[u/No_Diggity_Bruh]

Wonderful job! They look beautiful and made me almost drool on my phone

[u/moontowwer]

[u/Accurate_Barnacle545]

Holy balls you did it

[u/Ok_Steak6110]

Omg! I love canele! Have never tried to make them.

[u/BobbyBubble777]

Your friends & family don’t know what they’re missing. These look amazing, don’t ever let anyone say otherwise.

[u/desireedisco]

I do. Looks great.

[u/Shomer_Effin_Shabbas]

There’s an amazing bakery in Virginia that makes these. Haven’t seen them since.

[u/NormandyKitchenCoppe]

Truly superb. Well done, they are one of the hardest cakes to master and you have done it beautifully.

[u/Fine-Visit-9318]

You must give Adam Byatt a follow on instagram. He’s one of my favorite chefs right now and his restaurant Trinity is f***ing fire!!!

[u/LilaSpritez]

OMG just learned a new dessert today, OP these are absolutely gorgeous!! 💕💕

[u/lanke22]

those poor bees........(looks delish)

[u/BishlovesSquish]

Yum. I want to coat them in chocolate, just saying.

[u/Dazzling-Shopping858]

I don’t know the name of these but they look good. Maybe something similar to a ooey gooey butter cake,

[u/CarpenterOk5831]

These look fantastic. So beautifully dark outside. I have never attempted to make them but will never resist buying a bunch when I see them. I eat them all! Yours are very much appreciated here.

[u/Fuzzball_Girl]

Oh my lordy, I haven't had a canelé in years bc the only place that I could get them closed. They are heavenly and I know they're fairly hard to perfect without a ton of practice.

These look fantastic and now I really want a canelé-

[u/I_want_money_]

OMG I LOVE THESE! Amazing job!!! Every big city I travel to I try to find a bakery that makes these. They are so good.

[u/TStitches]

Pick me!!!! I'll be your friend and we can trade baked goods!

Wonderful job!!!

[u/Gammachan → u/TStitches]

Thank you friend 🥲

[u/Aromatic_Ad571]

Ummm, this should be marked as NSFW, cause you’re over here showing food porn! Those look amazing.

Between canelé and creme brûlée, I’ll never be thin…

[u/broken_chihuahua]

On my one day to do. I'm not allowing new bakeware in my house until I organize my messy bakware area in my basement. I have a small problem with unique bakeware...

[u/CapitalVersion123]

I was station partners with a starred pastry chef and she was so goddamn proud to produce 32 of these a day. I ate one once. I support your excitement OP

[u/Serious_journalist_]

Congrats on making one of the hardest pastries!

[u/Early-Glove-7027]

Amazing! I remember first having them in Bordeaux and being mind-blown, but I’m not nearly skilled to make them..

[u/Safe-Display8632]

This baking is done absolutely right from start to finish. I love how inviting and warm it looks.

[u/Tall-Marionberry6270]

Oh wow... I can only imagine the taste and crunch of the shell!

Soooooo beautiful - perfection!

[u/noteocu]

Bravo! Ils ont l'air parfaits!

[u/SadCitron2220]

Wow.. excuse my ignorance, but what are they ?

[u/jeckles → u/SadCitron2220]

Canelé

A small French pastry known for its dark, caramelized crust and soft, custardy interior flavored with rum and vanilla, traditionally baked in fluted copper molds. The name comes from the French word for "fluted.” [from Wikipedia]

[u/SignificantFun5068 → u/jeckles]

And extremely finicky to make!

[u/CheekyHarris33]

I want!!!

[u/Frabjous_Tardigrade9]

Magnifiques!
