I opened a Pandora's box yesterday, in fact 2 of them...
I went to a preview tasting at La Maison du Chocolat for their Nov 3 La Nuit du Gateau event and you are ALL invited. So PLEASE mark your calendars !
They are celebrating their 20th anniversary by inviting you for a free tasting of their cakes including the New York launch of their divine eclairs
You will get to taste their exquisite 'Salvador' cake of chocolate + framboise. This is every bit as good as it looks and simply melts in your mouth...miam-miam
And the chocolate ganache tarte...
A plate of what we tasted...
And of course there will be MACARONS on Nov 3!!!
I left La Maison floating on a chocolate cloud...
Everything was chocolate as I walzed down Madison Avenue like this belt- a reminder I must show some restraint this weekend...
Dreamy chocolate shorts at Juicy Couture, with an emphasis on the keep dreaming...
Stacks of chocolate dresses at Morgan Le Fay-I must be dreaming...
Dior has chocolate boots, bags, leggings...
A chocolate mommie as wall decor...
A celebrity mom (Serena's mom, Kelly Rutherford of Gossip Girls) with her kids in tow wearing a chocolate feathery coat!
And a chocolate New York dog bien sur...
I'll remind you again when Nov 3 draws closer, but do mark your diaries.
7pm - midnight all the New York La Maison du Chocolat will be celebrating with tents, tastes and jazz.
And Thank you for your suggestions yesterday.
Bon Week-End!

Sorry, can we just talk about that Salvador gateau?? I know where I am going one evening this week!! Chocolate cake for dinner, anyone??
ReplyDeleteI will wear a restrictive belt when I go so I don't 'accidentally' load my plate up with so many divine goodies. Or maybe the belt will stay at home...
