Rainbow croissants!
Hotel Café Royal in London has started selling rainbow croissants filled with amarena cherry jam.
They are made by executive pastry chef Sarah Barber and head baker Romain Tessier. It took about 8 weeks to create the perfect coloured rainbow croissant!
The five-star hotel located in Piccadilly Circus mixes colourful batches of dough together. They also make mango, passion fruit, raspberry, and pistachio flavoured croissants.
They are making up to 80 croissants a day and they are sold for £3.50 each.

It's like a Polandball of croissants.

They made some gay poofs.
LordKroket
Some contact Skittles and the leprechauns,they're stealing the rainbow.
AlIYourBaseAreBelongToUs
Horrible and way to expensive. This is an insult to real croissants!
Teas
The trashy yet food loving queer in me screams: I NEED TO EAT THIS.
Teas
That particular shade of color scheme is just too dark. They should have gone with pastel colors since the baking process darkens the dough.

Where do we find these treats of goodness?
YellowSparrow
Solid way to fuck with the French. Here's your national pastry dressed like a crack whore.

This is really cool, but I thought the dough was a carpet

Croissants fit for the (drag) Queen.

i don't particularly enjoy key and peele but the continental breakfast skit spoke to me

The dough is pretty, but it bakes up kind of ugly.
Ivain
looks absolutely fucking gross. I would probably puke (and not rainbows) if I ate one of these things IRL.

They are giving the frogs rainbow croissants, and it's turning them gay!
terrorofthederp
And the French are revolting
alvasalrey
Ohh please stop em they tend to lose their head over these things
Voidkom
idk, Romain Tessier sounds kinda french to me
Butternotworth
Completely, wtf is this rainbow poop
Gianttesticlemonster
HotelB
Yeah the French are pretty disgusting. Have you been to Paris? Yuck
Dramacian
And puking in between. That is also why the Brexit was a necessity.
WoefulWombat
In my professional opinion as a pastry chef: not worth the effort. More time spent to make a, frankly, uglier product.
zahare
Amen!
dinobots56
I agree as someone who is allergic to yellow dye I'm tired of all this nonsense.
Deadpete
Consumer here. Would buy one.
shhep
Consumer here. Those look tacky are ludicrously expensive. I like my food looking like food.
Deadpete
Good on you if you consume no food with added coloring. It's a fun stupid one time thing here, didn't say I'd buy them often.
aPrideofLions
For 3 and a half quid? You're having a laugh mate
TheLifeIsYours
seems reasonable for a well baked product.
Voidkom
Not that expensive, considering. It's not like they're wallmart , 5 for $1 croissants.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
How much are normal croissants at the same shop though, and at other shops in the area?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
If they sell, and even better, if they bring free advertising, then they are worth it. It's clearly a publicity stunt, and it seems to be /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
working. /2
DoglessProps
Quite. The fact that we are discussing it at all is rather proof that it was worth the effort, for them at least.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Exactly.
Fairdinkums
Definitely uglier. Normal croissants are beautiful enough
gramma42ton
If I saw these sold, it would probably make me go: right, how much artificial coloring goes into these?
HungarianOxPenisInABlender
Maybe it looks better upfront instead of a shoddy picture.. Food advertisements have showed that pictures & reality are completely different
CyoCyo
In my professional opinion as a Jew: who cares? You just got some schmuck to pay nearly 4 bucks for 25 cents worth of dough.
RyoumiyaHaru
In my non professional and somewhat drunk opinion as a customer : Why you want a gay croissants ?
WoefulWombat
It's unicorn mania.
hopethisisarelevantname
To further the agenda!

I would say: not woth the effort tasting, it's an english croissant
Velexis
I mean, it would work as a gimmick for a limited time. But as a full-time product it wouldn't be worth the effort
27yoUGLYvirgin
What the hell? Why are there 15 comments that don't like colorful croissants?That baffles me, is this supposed to be edgy?What's the matter?
septillion
I don't want to eat orange and purple food :/
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
It's that we love and accept croissants as the beautiful pastry miracles they already are. Also, fucking £3.50 for a single croissant!?

JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
...wow, holy shit. Dude. I'm not the one worked up, here. In fact, I've said nothing negative about them, save the expense. Chill. Fuck.
SnakeBiteScares
More that them colouring them is edgy, and they look good enough already
27yoUGLYvirgin
So someone isn't allowed to give them some color? That bothers you? What the hell...
TheGreatAku
Not only that, but they look way less buttery and flaky than a regular, well-made croissant
aPokal
In my hungry opinion: if it doesn't come with extra tastes. It ain't worth it.
awkwrdshittinpanda
As a amateur cook in everything. I agree
Jrhoney
Agreed
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
*In your professional opinion as a well jelly pastry chef.
Havok707
as a french man. No. fuck no.
VagisilToothpaste
They're cute! And my lesbian ass wants one...because rainbows and gayness.
oneillwith2ls
Who here understands how marketing works? Mhm, thought so. Good day Sirs. I SAID GOOD DAY SIRS!
keystotheairlock
Oh come now. Try one. Maybe it'll put the Hmmm back in your Heyyyyy.

289 quid a day - gross
imakitty
They're charging 3.50. They didn't say that was the cost of making them.
chazez
Bunch of fucking economists on this post
Daemoneyes
From the looks of it, its just a thick layer of food coloring on normal dough. So the costs are in the cent region.
WoefulWombat
What?
aPrideofLions
Quid= common vernacular in U.K. for pound coin
chazez
280 pound sterling before costs
WoefulWombat
I'm not sure what you're talking about? What costs 280?
chazez
80 x 3.50 this is your last clue
GiddyKipper
As a lifelong restauranteur, I second that opinion. Unfortunately, they will sell... just like rainbow cakes and unicorn lattes ...
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
...then they're worth it.
schlabbalappen
Why unfortunately? Let people enjoy them. I can see why people find them pretty, although it's subjective I guess. Either way no harm done
GiddyKipper
Because it's a shame when pastry chefs make better products but others take the market with gimmicks and people lose track of what 'good' is
schlabbalappen
Well maybe for me 'good' is a croissant that looks like a unicorn ate it first, whadda you know
wizardboy24
Does it matter? Food doesn't always have to be "serious". Fun things are okay too.
GiddyKipper
Fun is fine ... maybe I'm a purist, but food-dyed, mass-produced croissants will be a poor final product. Sad to me to see them sold at all
