- While the basic origins of pastry can be traced back to ancient Mediterranean civilisations, it is in France that the desserts and pastries were perfected and was set the gold standard. Today, the term ‘patisserie’ remains a legally controlled title in France and Belgium that may only be used by pastry shops that employ a licensed “maître pâtissier”.
