Souk

What's an Ispahan Rose anyway? Storytime! The 'Ispahan' flavor combo, was first developed by renown pastry chef Pierre Hermé, who was inspired by Persian flavors including lychee, rose and raspberry. @drwinnette , our founder, first tried Hermé's Ispahan macaron many years ago on a trip to Paris. In 2021, Winnette created the SOUK version of the Isphan dessert - in the form of a rose for Mother's Day! And, we have been making them for Mother's Day ever since! It is the only time that they are available for purchase! They take up to 3 days to make and are a real labor of, well, love! Of course, we have our own special SOUK spin to this now iconic flavor combo! The core of our rose is a lychee-hibiscus-raspberry gelée! Hibiscus or sorrel, being a favorite of Winnette's, thanks to her upbringing in Trinidad & Tobago! Surrounding the core is a rose-scented raspberry mousse, which is entirely coated in @valrhonausa Raspberry Inspiration - a stunning expression of pure raspberry flavor and all natural red color from dried raspberries!  Oh and a lil edible gold for bling, because, why not?  Truly, you don't want to miss these! Once they are gone - that's it till next year! 🔗 in bio to pre-order on their own OR in our Mother's Day Bundle. Delivered to you or for pickup at our popup @cane_dc . #mothersday #dcsouk #ispahanrose #haveyourroseandeatittoo #popup
