I knew that the French were famous for their cuisine, but I wasn’t prepared for the sheer beauty of the cakes, pastries, confections and sweet treats offered in their patisseries. Everything from the color combinations, to the shapes of the cakes and the finishing details – a raspberry here and there dusted with sugar, or the slightest hint of edible glitter or gold leaf – makes each cake a work of art.
But before you proceed any further reading this post, a word of warning. This post may make you very, VERY hungry…
Which will you choose?
(A side of fruit will go along nicely with your sweet treat.)
My choice? The Saint Honore cream tart at Ladurée…
Followed by a marzipan pear.
