The Paris-Brest cake is characterized by its distinctive round and flat shape resembling a bicycle wheel. Durand designed the cake in this form to pay tribute to the cyclists participating in the grueling race. In 1910, with the aim of commemorating and drawing more attention to the cycling race, French pastry chef Louis Durand decided to create a special cake. The symbolic wheel shape also allowed the cake to be easily divided into servings, making it a practical dessert for customers.

The pastry was created in 1910 by Louis Durand, pâtissier of Maisons-Laffitte, at the request of Pierre Giffard, to commemorate the 1,200 km Paris–Brest–Paris bicycle race he had initiated in 1891. The pastry, round, i.e. wheel-shaped, was named after the Paris–Brest–Paris cycle race. It became popular with riders on the Paris–Brest–Paris cycle race, partly because it provided the calories required for intensive sports and its intriguing name.
