Its Chinese New Year pillow set has returned, which showcases tiny cakes adorned with adorable pink pigs that almost look too good to eat. Almost.

Beaucoup Bakery (2150 Fir Street)

Beaucoup’s pastry chef and co-owner Betty Hung has an Asian heritage, so it makes sense that customers will sometimes find hints of Asian influences in her creations at the French bakery. For Lunar New Year, she has created a peanut mochi-and-sesame croissant, which features soft peanut-mochi cake, black sesame frangipane, and crushed peanuts. To top it all off, the buttery pastry is dusted with hints of gold—a truly festive touch for the lunar holiday.

Available until February 24.
