St. Honre cake, moist Pannetone

Looking for more holiday treats from other lands. I've had a couple disappointing experiences with Pannetone being dust-dry when you buy it in the box. I want moist!

Then you should look for the version known as "pan d'oro" which is not so full of fruits but moister and lighter. I have seen it at Rulli in Larkspur and they probably have it at Ferrari in Town Center, Corte Maders.

I imagine Chloe's would make a St. Honoré cake for you.

You want a st. honore cake, you MUST go to Dianda's in either the Mission district of SF or in San Mateo. They are a tradition in my family, enough alcohol in it to make you tipsy, and the cream puffs are literally to die for. Unbelievably worth the drive. I've had them from other places, but Dianda's is THE one.

If you want the best St. Honore, try Fiorinis Italian bakery on West Napa Street in Sonoma. Perfetto!

Rulli's in Larkspur is the best "non-boxed from Italy" pannetone

St. Honore by Massimo at Fiorini's is the best.
Buonissimo! Ciao Bello.
