This is the tastiest pastry in the world. It is called a religieuse, and it is my religion. These are layered cream puffs with chocolate pastry cream inside. This one is huge, and cost 2 euros. (!!)
It didn't come with a bow and pearls...we found this string of pearls (probably not real...but nice fake ones!) in the square in front of St. Sulpice today. And the bow is a big crazy plastic ring I bought in a store called "L'Oeuf" or "The Egg." A Religiuese is already delightful, but I decided to make it a little over the top precious.
On a less lovely note, Laduree (A super famous pastry shop with the most gorgeous confections) doesn't allow photography. boooo hoo.
it's adorable!!

ReplyDeleteI thought the expatriate lectured you for that! Did you learn nothing in France?
