On the menu: ‘L'Adage de la Rose Büche de Noël’ in mini version. 
Sadly, this is not my cake. I was simply browsing comme d’habitude.
I waltzed through, 
Pretending to meet someone for tea ☕️
They have a delectable special Ballet tea (120€ for 2 people including Champagne 🥂 + ballerina 🩰 gâteau).
Then I walzed out…
Guess what?
Teddybears 🧸 are IN this season 🐻

    So beautiful Carol. I love the Nutcracker ballet and have your wonderful Nutcracker ballet art print on display during this time of year. Going to the ballet tea at the L’Intercontinental Hotel would be so special. Thank you for all the lovely photos.-Suzanne P.

    That cake is gorgeous! What a grand theme. Passing a Repetto shop always stops me in my tracks…those tutus! ❤️ Bears are always ‘in’, imho! 🧸

    The tutu cake is faboulous, love the pink colour plus the shape. However, 70€ seems too pricey for tea!

      Tea at the fanciest hotel in Milwaukee Wisconsin is over $90US per person, so I thought the tea for two price sounded very reasonable for being in PARIS! And getting to see all of those delightful decorations from Repetto! And getting to eat a lovely tutu dress cake! What a delightful experience.

      I have repeated Paris prices vs local prices in several local cafes here in Oregon. Ridiculous to think they can charge the same as Paris! Thanks for being with me. I lived in Waukesha for 9 years and we loved to attend the Milwaukie youth concert sponsored by M & I bank each Christmas with their magnificent collection of oversized STEIFF Bears and other animals! My parents would always come from the West Coast for several weeks from Thanksgiving to Valentines and, they, too, looked forward to the holdiday festivities. Carol, you and Bear would love it!

    That little cake is adorable but almost too cute to eat.

    Your ballet themed posts are my absolute favorites! I already have your Palais Garnier watercolor and the ballet letter you did a while back. Time to do some more ballet paintings and another ballet letter? I think so!!!
