Freshly Filled French Croissants — Made Live at Your Event
An interactive dessert experience for weddings, corporate events, bridal showers, baby showers and private celebrations — where every guest chooses their filling and watches their croissant made to order.
A Statement Piece for Every Venue
More than a serving station, our deep green pastry cart turns your event space into a charming French atelier. Dressed in eucalyptus, fern, warm string lights and a curated selection of gourmet toppings, it is designed to look like it belongs in your florals — not beside them.
Compact by design at just 26″ × 48″ with a 75″ height, the cart slips neatly into venues of any size. Unlike a food truck, it fits comfortably indoors — a detail event planners consistently tell us they appreciate.

Bespoke Service
Every event is tailored — from filling selection to presentation — ensuring an experience as unique as your occasion.
The Pastry Injectors
Filled Fresh, Right in Front of Your Guests
Our professional pastry injectors, imported from France, fill every croissant to order in under 10 seconds — right in front of your guests. Nothing is prepared in advance and left to sit. Each croissant is filled the moment it is chosen, so the pastry reaches your guest at its flakiest.
That speed is what makes the experience work. There is no queue, no mess, and no waiting — just a steady, theatrical rhythm of guests choosing a filling, watching it disappear into the croissant, and finishing it themselves at the topping station. It is as entertaining to watch as it is to eat, and it is usually the thing people photograph first.
Designed by Louis Tortochot
Our injector was conceived and crafted in France by Louis Tortochot, Meilleur Boulanger de France — the nation’s highest distinction in artisan baking. A machine born from the same mastery as the croissant itself.
Most events serve food.

Hi, I’m Pauline
I created La Petite Boulange after moving from France, because I wanted to bring one of my favorite French traditions to American celebrations: freshly filled artisan croissants, prepared live in front of your guests.
Every event is about more than dessert — it’s about creating a memorable experience that guests keep talking about long after the celebration ends. That is the moment I want to hand you, one croissant at a time.
Before this, I built a career across international business, commercial aviation and hands-on bakery work — and every part of that shows up in how we run an event.

Yes. We typically travel within approximately 90 minutes of Raleigh to ensure every croissant remains as fresh as possible. Our pastries are baked locally in Raleigh before each event.
Absolutely. Each event planner selects either two or four signature fillings. Guests then choose their favorite filling before customizing their croissant with artisan toppings.
Our professional pastry injectors fill each croissant in under 10 seconds, while preserving the interactive experience.
Our croissants are made with high-quality, non-GMO flour and authentic European butter, giving them the rich, flaky texture of a traditional French croissant. Because of these ingredients, they contain gluten and dairy and are not vegan. They are, however, vegetarian. If you have guests with specific dietary restrictions, we’d be happy to discuss whether La Petite Boulange is a good fit for your event.
Yes, we serve both indoor and outdoor events. One advantage of our Signature Cart is its compact footprint — unlike a food truck, it fits comfortably inside most venues, making it a favorite among event planners while still providing the same memorable interactive experience.
