London’s bakery scene has just welcomed a new mouthwatering addition – a massive croissant that can easily feed a party of eight. This oversized French pastry has quickly gained attention on TikTok, garnering over 185,000 views and leaving viewers in awe of its size.
The TikTok video showcases a customer casually dipping the comically large croissant into a regular-sized cup of coffee, revealing just how enormous this flaky treat truly is. The creation can be found at Philippe Conticini’s two London stores in Camden and South Kensington, where they specialize in freshly baked pastries every day.
While the giant croissant steals the show, there’s also an option for chocolate lovers – a pain au chocolat equivalent priced at £28. For those seeking a little extra indulgence, there’s a scrumptious almond croissant filled generously at £35.
Initially skeptical about the giant croissant’s taste and texture, Hungry Artist, a popular foodie account on TikTok, reassures viewers that it’s surprisingly fluffy inside. They encourage their followers to visit the upscale London patisserie and bask in the envy of others; the only drawback being the mess it creates.
The response from viewers has been overwhelmingly positive, with many considering the £25 price tag to be a worthwhile investment. However, one viewer couldn’t help but express their horror at the croissant being dipped into the cup of coffee, questioning the legality of such an act.
The mastermind behind this colossal delicacy is Philippe Conticini, a pastry chef who hails from Paris. He trained as a chef in France before venturing to the UK, where he established several bakeries after gaining experience in Michelin-starred restaurants. Conticini is renowned for his innovative approaches to culinary presentation, introducing the concept of serving dishes and desserts vertically in glasses rather than traditional plates. His expertise has even been showcased on the French equivalent of The Great British Bake Off, Le Meilleur Pâtissier, in 2012.
The success of this gigantic croissant follows in the footsteps of a New York bakery that saw customers queuing for hours to get their hands on a luxury croissant. The demand was so high that the bakery had to limit purchases to only one per person.
So, if you find yourself in London with an appetite for adventure, make sure to visit Philippe Conticini’s remarkable bakery and indulge in their awe-inspiring, party-sized croissant. But be prepared for the spotlight and embrace the deliciously messy experience.
