Sweet Aurora’s offerings include a range of French pastries, from lemon meringue tarts and Saint Honoré to macarons and traditional cakes such as Galette des Rois for King’s Day celebrations. As stated on Sweet Aurora’s website; “As Aurore’s recipes change depending on the seasons and the local products available, she also likes to add her own little touch, like a smoked chocolate ganache in her volcano macarons, in tribute of the eruption at Fagradalsfjall.” If you’re looking for a sweet and memorable dessert next time you’re in the city, Sweet Aurora should be considered your go-to spot.
