National Cream Puff Day Cards

An unofficial food holiday celebrated to honor the cream puff — a light choux pastry (pâte à choux) typically filled with whipped cream, custard, or pastry cream and sometimes glazed or dusted with sugar. The cream puff (also called a profiterole in some regions) traces its roots to French pastry traditions developed from the 16th–18th centuries and refined by European pâtissiers. The day is a lighthearted celebration that encourages baking, buying, and enjoying cream puffs and supporting local bakeries and pastry chefs.
