On the occasion of the inauguration of the CUPRA City Garage in Paris on November 4, 2023, CUPRA France is pleased to announce its partnership with the renowned pastry chef Jeffrey Cagnes, who is now a member of the CUPRA Tribe.

With City Garages, CUPRA hopes to connect with cities and their cultures by organizing events and exhibitions and fostering collaborations with local talent. Paris is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, which attracted CUPRA to showcase one of France's finest crafts: pastry.

Jeffrey Cagnes, a lover of refinement and passionate about beauty, earned his stripes at several renowned fashion houses before embarking on his own path: freedom and expression without restrictions. CUPRA and Jeffrey Cagnes share a passion: a passion for bold design. The pastry chef expresses his expertise through his creations, for the enjoyment of all. Likewise, CUPRA, this young, nonconformist brand, evokes the same emotions and places his passion at the heart of all its projects.

From Barcelona to Paris, focus on Jeffrey Cagnes' creations for Cupra

The Cupra Chocolate & Vanilla

The chef used powerful pastry markers to create two desserts featuring the CUPRA logo. The first is 100% chocolate and consists of soft chocolate biscuits, salted caramel and vanilla, 64% dark chocolate mousse, a rich chocolate ganache, chocolate crunch, and chocolate shortbread. The second highlights the sweetness of vanilla in a vanilla bavaroise, a vanilla almond praline, a vanilla Genoa sponge, candied Spanish orange, vanilla lime, and vanilla shortbread! Price: 8,50 euros.

Paris-Barcelona

The chef reinvents the famous Paris-Brest as a highway for a gastronomic journey, linking Paris to Barcelona, highlighting Valencian almonds and Spanish hazelnuts. This is a combination of choux pastry, almond-hazelnut praline, almond-hazelnut mousse, almond streusel, and a rich almond-hazelnut cream. Price: €9,00.

Baba Sangria

We must go back to the origins of this pastry known as Baba Sangria, because in the past the baba was soaked in Malaga wine! This baba is soaked in a Malaga wine and cinnamon syrup, garnished with diced granite apples and candied red fruits. Price: 9,00 euros.

Nougat

A gourmet souvenir from the chef: the famous Turron. He reinterprets it as a delicious nougat, coated in chocolate and crunchy pistachios, and revisits it in the form of a cake! It is composed of a thin layer of 64% dark chocolate, a mountain honey mousse, a rich pistachio praline, crushed roasted almonds, and a soft pistachio biscuit. Price: 9,00 euros.

The Catalan

In a spirit of generosity and sharing, the chef has reinterpreted the Catalan cream to share in a trompe l'oeil version. It is composed of a milk and dark chocolate shell with speculoos, salted butter caramel and vanilla, a milk mousse with cinnamon and orange zest, a caramel confit, and a Madagascar vanilla biscuit. Price: 12,00 euros.

Catalan cream

In addition to his trompe-l'oeil, the chef also wanted to preserve the essential elements of traditional Catalan cream. In its utmost simplicity, he combines it with a cooked cream flavored with orange and cinnamon. He sprinkles the whole thing with caramelized brown sugar, which adds texture to this dessert. Price: €9,00.

Jeffrey Cagnes, CUPRA Tribe ambassador

The opening of the CUPRA City Garage in Paris also marks the announcement of another partnership: Jeffrey Cagnes joins the CUPRA Tribe, which brings together a team of ambassadors who aim to be a powerful engine of change.

“I am happy to be part of the CUPRA Tribe. The mechanics of a car are as precise as the weight used in a recipe. The design of the lines, the elegant silhouette are all codes that are part of our two worlds. This collaboration allows me to create a new world of possibilities by combining different sources of flavors, opening the realm of new taste possibilities, offering bolder choices. It is part of my family heritage, multicultural and Latin culture.” " explains chef Jeffrey Cagnes.

“We are delighted to welcome Jeffrey Cagnes, the newest member of the CUPRA Tribe. His rebellious spirit breaks boundaries through his creations, perfectly embodying our brand's philosophy of inspiring future generations. This collaboration therefore seems like a natural fit,” said Robert Breschkow, Director of CUPRA France.
