Crepes are an incredibly versatile food. While they’re traditionally enjoyed simply with a dusting of powdered sugar or dressed up with sweet and savory fillings, you can really go all-out by making a layered crepe cake. This showstopping dessert starts with a basic crepe recipe, then layers the thin pancakes with a delicious pastry cream filling. Serve crepe cake for brunch with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar and fresh berries, or make it an extra-special dessert by adding chocolate ganache<\/a> or whipped cream<\/a>. The choice is yours!<\/p>\n

What is a crepe cake?<\/h2>\n

A crepe cake is essentially stacked crepes layered with a filling. Known as mille cr\u00eapes<\/em> (French for “a thousand crepes”), this cake is assembled with many eye-catching layers. Some crepe cakes may have 20 to 30 layers, making them as tall as a typical round layer<\/a> cake<\/a>. Anything sturdy enough to hold the crepes in place can be used as a filling, whether it’s cream cheese, plain whipped cream, pastry cream, jam or ganache.<\/p>\n
