History and specifics[]
The dessert contained numerous layers of flaky pastry and sweet filling. It may have been named for geologist Delvan Mitchell, known for a stratification theory presented in the 2270s at a geophysical conference. (ST reference: The Star Trek Cookbook)
It was a favorite sweet of Kira Nerys. Neelix likened them to petit fours. The cake could be approximated with eggs, flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, and almond extract, with the filling made with heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, mocha java, and orange extract. It could be topped with a glaze made with sugar, water, cream of tartar, and vanilla. (ST reference: Star Trek Cookbook)
In 2371, Julian Bashir had two Delvan fluff pastries for breakfast. Odo observed him doing so and remarked that as a doctor, Bashir should know better which foods not to eat for breakfast. (DS9 episode: "Facets")
Delvan fluff pastry was one of the items served during the celebration aboard the USS da Vinci of Domenica Corsi's promotion to commander in the year 2377. (CoE eBook: Remembrance of Things Past, Book I)
