The Famous Siege of Paris by the Pastries

Long, long ago, in the year 1450, an untold invasion of France happened, something so unbelievable that today it is just a legend. But it isn’t. I will tell you the story of the famous Siege of Paris by the Pastries!

 

At that time, the King of France had one great wish: he wanted French cooking to be the most delicious in all the world. He had heard rumors of a secret recipe kept by the King of the Pastries, a magical recipe that made every tart, croissant, and éclair taste like nothing before.

 

So the French king sent his messenger, offering mountains of gold for the secret. But the King of the Pastries politely refused no matter what could be offered in return. The French king came up with a terrible idea: “If he won’t share the secret,” he whispered to his advisors, “then we’ll make him share it! We’ll capture his son and hold him until he agrees!”

 

When the King of the Pastries discovered his son was missing, he was heartbroken and furious. He summoned every pastry in his kingdom and beyond to march on Paris. For weeks, the city was surrounded by pastries of every kind. Finally, overhelmed, the French king had no choice but to surrender. The King of the Pastries freed his son and ruled over Paris for one whole year.

 

But soon, realising how flawed humanity is, he decided to retire with all the Pastries to the peaceful Cotton Candy Kingdom, now hidden from us for good.

 

In the aftermath, the French has gradually lost any memory of this event and the records of the shameful defeat of the king of France has been erased systematically to the point where what happened is now whispered away as a myth. But not eveything was lost, most of the famous French pastries and desserts have been created during this time and carries a secret memory of the day pastries ruled Paris.
