Sweet Treats
The Cordial Cricket is an elegant stationery and gift shop located in Chester, Virginia. They had a birthday this past Saturday and Petites Bouchees was one of the sweet table providers. My partner in crime, Candy Valley Cake company supplied the cake pops.
I had fun making the cake stand above. If there [...]

Three tarts
The truth is, between cakes and pies or tarts, I prefer tarts and pies more. Except in the case of brownies which I don’t consider a cake but more of a food of the gods – given a dessert choice, I’d gladly pass over a perfectly delicious cake if presented with good old-fashioned warm [...]
Mini-Lemon Pound cakes
Playing around with these miniature baking forms. Aren’t they adorable?
Brownies too!
The advantage of brownies in smaller pans? You get more of those coveted crusty edges.

Basil Ice Cream
The hot and humid weather has sequestered me indoors. I really hate being under the sun, you would think I was a vampire. But a person’s got to eat and I had to go grocery shopping.
Speaking of groceries, a big new Kroger just opened in our neighborhood and I was so excited [...]

A cupcake
Is it Wednesday already? I’ve been held hostage by macarons of late, around 600 hundred of them in the past two days and there will be more coming out of the oven in the weeks to come.
Which explains the lack of new recipes here lately. I’ll be in a couple of bridal shows in [...]

Macarons with olive oil and vanilla ganache
I finally got a chance to do an entry for Macattack the monthly challenge sponsored by Deeba and Jamie over at Mactweets blog where macaron-obsessed folks gather, cheer, whine and gain tremendous support in a united quest to overcome the finickiest confection ever created on this planet. The theme [...]

Luscious apple tarts!
One evening after the new year, I had an odd compulsion to make puff pastry. It must have been triggered by this arctic blast that had sent people (me) scuttling indoors and despite the furnace running up [...]
Eiffel Tower, on a cold rainy night
It was like another world away, this place we refer to as the old world. My first time in Paris was surreal, I can’t believe I was there. Twelve days of eating, twelve days of trying to fit more into my belly, I was bursting at the seams, but [...]

Passion Fruit Layered Cake
I have no excuse. I simply don’t. Sure I was a bit busy, sure I had family over for a visit but the plain truth was I let myself be distracted so much that to sit down and write a post was quite a challenge. I don’t think I can define this [...]
Thomas Keller makes brownies?
I love chocolate. Who doesn’t? My craving goes into overdrive in the colder weather but I am guessing I’m not the only one. I am, however, very picky with what type of chocolate dessert I put into my mouth. I am not a chocolate snob, I’ll have a Kit Kat as the [...]
