Alain Ducasse’s chocolate bunny this year is sculptural and geometric.
I popped into his shop yesterday. It feels like a lab…
He has a très charmante geometric chickie in the window. I did not succumb.
Instead I fell hard for Pierre Marcolini’s adorable bunny box. After a week of sleepless nights, I went back and bought it (16,90€) No buyer’s regrets. The yummy chocolates are gone.
Some handsome bunnies at Jadis et Gourmande I somehow resisted.
I started sketching ✏️ bunnies 🐰 like mad…

So how come the Easter bunny?
Supposedly German immigrants brought the tradition to the US. The story goes a German mom hid eggs 🥚 in the garden for her children. When the kids asked,”Who brought the Easter eggs Mom?” Mom responded a rabbit 🐇 did. Voila.

ReplyDeleteAnyone out there who thought rabbits laid eggs? This has been a family joke for years. Thanks for the history, Carol.

You just keep getting better and better. I love your work. Bev
ReplyDeleteI would love to be in Paris for Easter Season!! Thanks for the glimpse!!!
ReplyDeleteI’ve been a fan of your blog for years, and I’m thrilled to see the chocolate bunnies of Paris on your Paris map. Your Paris bunny letter will be our guide on a chocolate-themed treasure hunt! Thank you again for the wonderful work that you do. Happy Easter! B.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Carol! I hope you have a nice long weekend and get some sunshine. I love your chocolate bunny letter. Paris does have lots of chocolate shops, thanks for the tour. We have one very good chocolate shop here, so I always go there and buy some chocolates for Easter. I think you chose well with that very cute rabbit box with little chocolates inside.
ReplyDeleteP.S I found myself a double sided grapefruit knife, made in Japan, on chef.com.au!
Paris has maybe more Chocolate 🍫 Australia has more grapefruit knives🔪
DeleteIt seems so! Though I did end up having to buy it from another online shop, but bought myself a tomato knife too :)
DeleteI need to tell you how much I love your posts. And what could possibly top chocolate Easter bunnies? Vicarious love for chocobunnies is calorie free! Mike DC
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Carol! In reference to your chocolate adventures, 11/12 you posted about the Imperial Chocolat Fontainebleau. I will be in Paris for their event in 2024 and am hoping to go. Can I please ask if you had bought your tickets in advance?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful posts and inspirations!
Planning ahead 👏 No need. Entry to chateau Fontainebleau allows you to visit the chocolate event.
ReplyDeleteThe bunnies are my favorite part of Easter. I even saw one outside yesterday (delivering a basket? Not so sure -- he was rather small!). Love each and every bunny you shared, art or chocolate (and yes, some are both!)
