Originally created by the Julien brothers or ‘Trois Frères’ in the 18th century it was initially a baked cake made of rice flour, eggs and maraschino. Once cooked, it was glazed with apricot nappage and decorated with angelica. Although this particular cake is rarely seen nowadays, the mould is called trois frères and many pâtissiers still use it to create modern pâtisserie.
