VIDEO. In Toulouse, big success for the cakes in the shape of “quéquettes” and “foufounes”
La Quéquetterie, a pastry shop located in downtown Toulouse, offers pancakes in the shape of “foufounes” and “quéquettes”. A daring culinary and marketing concept, which dresses nearly a thousand customers every weekend, in a fun and uninhibited spirit.
Sensitive readers, refrain. Since August, significant quantities of penis-shaped cakes have been sold at a pastry shop on rue Rémusat. It is not uncommon to come across groups of girlfriends in the street biting happily into the plump end of an 8-inch-long “fluffy pancake”, topped with white chocolate. Others prefer to lick their fingers after having swallowed as best they can a vulva filled with vanilla ice cream, the “pussiny’n cream”.
In short, you will understand, at the Quéquetterie, we flirt with provocation and bad taste. Without completely falling into it, we defend ourselves in this franchise. “We all know what we’re talking about, but we never cross the line, jokes Anthony, the manager. The idea is to laugh, without being vulgar. It always provokes a reaction, a smile.”
A scent of scandal
“She’s too fat, isn’t she? Asks Alain to his wife, Michele.” It’s funny, it’s a good child. A good idea in this too serious world. We need lightness, “he confides, a” black’n white “in his hand. Alain, in his fifties, came to the Quéquetterie on the advice of his sister, who lives in Angers. There, a petition from residents has been launched against the store, which is located near a church and a private Catholic school. “We can no longer laugh. France is more what it used to be “, deplores Alain.
In Toulouse, no scandal in sight. La Quéquetterie is always full, it dresses nearly 800 customers every weekend. “I’m going to take a cock for my neighbor, that will make her happy!” Amélance, in her twenties, is held with her best friend. “It’s always the occasion to have a good laugh!”
The concept, inspired by Spanish “pollerias” (the polla means the penis), was created in Paris in the midst of the Covid crisis a year ago. Toulouse was the first franchise in the provinces, followed by Montpellier, Angers and soon Bordeaux. The pastries are “fluffy pancakes”, made with the ingredients of a vanilla waffle dough, with a soft texture.
The front is sober: no cocks or pussies in the window. As soon as you walk through the door, the tangy colors, the aroma of vanilla and the music set the tone. There are jokes when ordering. “Is this your first time?” Fans can even leave with a goodie with an evocative logo. The poopers will only have to change the sidewalk.
