Salt Lake’s Premium Sweet Shop

Executive Pastry Chef Jeffrey de Leon creates the culinary masterpieces at La Bonne Vie and highlights some of the signature creations at La Bonne Vie.


World class chefs treat each confection as a work of art, and finely packaged confections make thoughtful, tasteful gifts. La Bonne Vie patisserie is part of the Shops at The Grand, a shopping and dining experience unlike any other.

Whether you are in search for a unique gift for that special someone or want to tame your own sweet tooth, Chef de Leon recommends the following this holiday season:

1. French Macarons: The crunch of the delicate shell gives way to a moist and chewy center. Fillings may be made of an infused butter cream or ganache. Popular flavors include Vanilla Bean, Passion Fruit, Raspberry, Caramel and more.

2. Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting: Traditional Red Velvet Cake with a smooth cocoa flavor accented by the color of its red interior. Topped with a sweetened whipped cream cheese.

3. Almond Dragees: Candied spiced almonds coated with dark chocolate and cocoa powder
