The mille-feuille cake is believed to have its origins in 1613, when the French pastry chef Claude Lorrain created it made from puff pastry, a very thin crumbly dough made with flour and butter.

The mille-feuille cake consists of a French dessert made with a layer of baked puff pastry and a layer of pastry cream or whipped cream, then cut into rectangles and sprinkled with icing sugar. The puff pastry layers can be very thin to place as many, as necessary.
