The origins of this melting little butter cake go back to 1890. The year in which Isidore Penven, succeeding his father – the baker of Pont-Aven – creates the famous butter cakes ("galettes") for the first time.
After his premature death in 1914 , his only son Robert continues to work in this family bakery with his mother until 1951. In 1952 he decides to found his own cake factory and calls his butter cakes the "Délices de Pont-Aven".
Today it is Annie, one of his daughters, accompanied by her husband, who is perpetrating this tradition according to the family recipe for which she has got the exclusive rights.
