The charm of Heure du Gouter lies not merely in delicious flavor but in the seamless fusion of design, detail, and brand sensibility. Although baked confections may appear simple, their perfection depends on delicate subtleties: the balance between base, jam, ganache, compote, icing, and glaze determines the final harmony.

Chef Jin-sun Lee emphasizes that while there is no single “correct” way to make desserts, one’s philosophy and personal taste must always shine through.
