The 2026 Valentine’s Day lineup from Paris Baguette introduces a Pink Velvet–inspired assortment of cakes, pastries, and beverages developed by the brand’s in-house culinary team. Designed to suit a range of celebratory occasions, the collection emphasizes handcrafted preparation, visual refinement, and a cohesive seasonal aesthetic.
Handcrafted in café locations, the Valentine’s Day cakes feature layered constructions, Pink Velvet soft cream, and decorative finishes intended for sharing. Available through February 15, offerings include the 'Pink Velvet Chocolate Ganache Cake,' the 'Pink Velvet Layer Cake,' and the 'XOXO Strawberry Soft Cream Heart Cake.'
Beyond cakes, the lineup extends the Pink Velvet theme to pastries and drinks, reimagining familiar items with Valentine’s Day detailing. Selections include conversation heart macarons, croissants, donuts, and specialty beverages such as the 'Pink Velvet Macchiato' and 'Pink Velvet Matcha Latte.' Together, the collection delivers a consistent seasonal expression across desserts and drinks offerings.
