Maison Stohrer

A little Paris walk on 51, rue Montorgueil, 75002 to one of Paris' oldest patisserie founded in 1730. We will visit Maison Stohrer class, today. The interior of this tiny shop is positively grande. With murals of the seasons painted by Paul Baudry in 1864, whose works grace the Grand Foyer of the Paris Opera...

Tarte aux fraises des bois

The Tarte aux Poires...

I don't know the name of this tart, but it knows what to do when you point a camera at it bien sur!

Piles of luscious canneles await you at Stohrer. They were judged to have the 3rd best eclair in Paris.

And being a traiteur, there are savories too. Soup to nuts so to speak.

 

 And we must not forget the macarons! Here's a petit film on Stohrer, if per chance you can't drop by today...
BON JEUDI!
 

Boxology

                       Some days I after posting, I make mini boxes. 

In the Pro section of Salon du Chocolat -many candy and pastry boxes.
A pile of ballotins waiting to filled up with chocolates with your name on them.

These were all from the king of French Boxology, Embaline.
Also known as Cartonnage De Luxe (luxury box makers)
Here their heart within a heart for Saint Valentin day.More lovely stacks of candy boxes in cinnamon / Cannelle.
Do you think I was cut out to be a box-maker?

Very popular with the macaron makers are these transparent boxes - you can see the goodies instantly. Angelina uses them.

The newest box at Chez PB is of course classic green, and the newest critter in the house is amused.

Hmmm..the other PB critters are not amused to have more competition for their macarons. Do you blame them?

Just don't go away hungry. Here are some macarons to nibble on from Patisserie Stohrer on 51, rue Montorgueil.
