Tompouce

Tompouce is a traditional pastry consisting of a thin puff pastry that is filled with cream and topped with a layer of smooth, pink icing. The dessert is usually prepared in a rectangular shape. Around King's Day in Amsterdam, the icing is traditionally colored bright orange in order to represent true Dutch colors.

It is believed that the dessert is named after a performing dwarf with the stage name of Tom Pouce. Tompouce is often served with afternoon tea or coffee, especially at festive events such as birthdays.
