I’ll put this book on my list. I read all the posts that I had missed on your blogs. So many luscious cakes! I like the French chocolate cakes, with Grand Marnier. Here I think they are too sweet and not creamy enough. While in Paris I went back to look at the office where I worked before coming to the US in the 60s – it was rue Lincoln at the corner with the Champs-Elysées. There used to be a café near my office at this corner where I would take a café crème in the morning. I was surprised that it had been replaced now with the Ladurée place (which looks old but can’t be) I went inside and bought some macarons but I did not like them as much as the cakes. I enjoyed your pictures of Venice – you have a good eye for the interesting shot.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.com
