DISCOVER THE UNIVERSE OF DECOURT DESSERTS, YOUR FRENCH PASTRIES, CAKES & WEDDING CAKES IN LETTERKENNY, DONEGAL
Hi ! I'm Lucia !
Cooking has always been my passion, ever since I was little. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts and Entrepreneurship, followed by a CAP (profesional certificate) in Pastry in Paris, I honed my skills in the French capital, where I worked for several years.
Before that, I had the incredible opportunity to spend a year as an au pair in Ireland.
During this enriching experience, my Irish host family quickly fell in love with my pastries, and I adored sharing a piece of French tradition with them through my creations.
I cherished my one-year au pair experience in Ireland and decided to come back to fulfill my pastry dreams.
Today, my friends and their loved ones often request cakes from me, and I’m always thrilled to introduce them to the richness and nuances of French pastries.
Now, my goal is to share my expertise with an even broader audience. Through my creations, I hope to transport you to the world of delicious traditional French desserts, with a personal and creative touch.

SEASONALITY
QUALITY & HEALTH
All our cakes are homemade with authentic French craftsmanship. We do not use artificial flavors, palm oil, or artificial colors. This is why, for example, our macarons are not multicolored!
We focus on raw, natural ingredients: flour, free-range eggs, and seasonal fruits.
We strive for a production and consumption model with a lower environmental impact. That’s why we encourage you to reduce waste and reuse when possible. Bring your own containers when purchasing : shopping bags, reusable mugs, or cake boxes for regular orders.
We minimize food waste through composting and recycling.
We aim to share values, influence your consumption habits, and improve our environment for the benefit of future generations and our current ecosystem.
We prioritise compostable packaging and minimize the use of plastic.
