People try to treat you with a cupcake or a slice of white cake with that yucky fluffy icing made from shortening and seem insulted with a "no thank you." <br /><br />The Mozart gateaux looks too pretty to eat.Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843762553010099404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-20826462519654259852010-05-26T21:37:01.482-04:002010-05-26T21:37:01.482-04:00I had a very pleasant tete-a-tete with M.

Elbaz when he came to me in Paris to surrender his green card and apply for a tourist visa (you remember he is Israeli, not French). <br />He was shocked and crushed that I did not know who he was, but of course after our meeting (and a subsequent one after I got his papers in order) I started seeing his photo in all the fashion mags. <br />He was quite charming. <br />nancy now in Savannahnancy in Savannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-73567777983607252232010-05-26T19:51:11.819-04:002010-05-26T19:51:11.819-04:00The cake from Laduree is GORGEOUS!

St. Honore is the patron saint of bakers. A St. Honore starts with a puff pastry base, a ring of pate a choux (cream puffs) dipped in caramel around the outside, pastry cream in the middle piped in with a St. Honore tip, and spun sugar on top. It is considered a true test of skill for a baker to be able to manage all these different techniques correctly!
