Collaborative Sweets by Ecole de Cuisine and Fujiya Launch Nationwide

Exciting Collaboration Between Ecole de Cuisine and Fujiya

In an exciting partnership, Ecole de Cuisine's high school program in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, has teamed up with Fujiya, a renowned pastry chain in Japan, to create a unique dessert. This collaboration coincides with their triumph at the 18th Sweets Koshien, where they not only won first place but also received the special 'Peko-chan Award' from Fujiya.

The dessert, named 'Smile Switch! Berry Fromage Roll', will be available at Fujiya pastry shops nationwide from March 1 to March 31. This limited-time offering promises to delight the taste buds with its creative blend of flavors and artistry.

The Berry Fromage Roll features a beautifully crafted raspberry-flavored sponge, rolled with a tangy raspberry sauce and luscious fromage cream. The gentle acidity of the raspberry and fromage combines to create a refreshing taste that is both light and indulgent. Each cake is adorned with a macaroon cookie design, which reflects their signature blue chef tie—symbolizing gratitude towards their supporting families and instructors, as well as their passion for creating exceptional sweets.

This partnership brings to light the innovative talents of students at Ecole de Cuisine, showcasing their skills and ideas in a professional capacity. The Sweets Koshien, a competition founded by Kai Group in 2008, promotes a deeper understanding of food culture and aims to nurture the next generation of pastry chefs. Teams are composed of three students from the same high school, competing against each other in both creativity and skill.

During the event, students put their culinary skills to the test, inspiring teamwork and collaboration as they create edible works of art. The success of the Éclat fière team is a testament to their hard work, and the collaboration with Fujiya only cements their achievement.

Customers can purchase the Smile Switch! Berry Fromage Roll for 691 yen (tax included). It’s important to note that prices may vary in eat-in areas and restaurants where standard tax rates are applicable.

For those interested in tasting this delightful creation, it's available across Fujiya pastry shops; however, availability may vary by location, and some shops might sell out quickly. A handful of Fujiya restaurants will also provide this unique dessert, allowing more people to enjoy the fruits of this collaboration.

This collaboration between Ecole de Cuisine and Fujiya marks a significant moment for young chefs, blending culinary arts with creativity and community. It stands as a reminder of the continuous support from both educators and family, guiding students toward their endeavors in the world of pastry and sweet creations. Don't miss the chance to enjoy this limited-time treat throughout March—it's a celebration of taste and creativity that everyone can appreciate.
