The Genoise

The sponge cake is one of the most popular culinary bases in French pastry. Used in many recipes as an aid, make pastries in just a few minutes. Buttercream, ganache or fruit, fill your sponge cake with a gourmet preparation and treat your guests to a simple and healthy cake.

A classic but effective ready-to-fill product, La Cigale has enhanced this sponge cake by offering two versions : plain and cocoa. Available in several formats (sheet, round, plate, disc…), La Cigale also offers you to develop your own products according to your specifications. Our sponge cakes are kept fresh, in a freshness pouch or frozen.

The sponge cake is certainly classic but it has been able to renew itself as shown by our ready-to-use sponge cake disk. Ideal for your verrines and desserts, this small disk will revolutionize your pastries with its quick defrosting and its soft texture!
