Just desserts today. And what incredible desserts they are!
PAIN DE SUCRE in the Marais only creates the unexpected.

They have a strong sense of pastry geometry too - one of my passions.And they LOVE the SQUARE!
Of course marshmallows/guimauve are normally square..but in flavors of green Matcha tea or Orange flower or saffron..?
This is unexpected.
Pastry chefs, Didier Mathray & Nathalie Robert take the everyday Provencal almond-paste delicacy called a "calisson" and make it square with added candied oranges.
Look at this absolutely perfect raspberry squared tarte! Their fruits are the best to be had too.
More perfect squares of deliciousness...
AH HA! Now these squares begin to look a bit like Sicilian pizza non?
Like tomato with Rosemary popping out of it!
And here sliced figs with more Rosemary! Extraordinary don't you agree?
Recently a reader wrote that she'd hung around Paris Breakfasts for a month and thought there must be more to Paris than "LOLLIES IN SHOPS".

She was moving on.
But she promised to come back in a month to see if I had moved on from "LOLLIES IN SHOP".
I looked it up - a mostly New Zealand expression for lollie pops in candy shops.
Some of the most creative artists on the planet are creating exceptional lollies in shops. And PAIN DE SUCRE is one of them along with Pierre Herme and Gerard Mulot and...and...and...
See! PAIN DE SUCRE can do beautiful, surprising round pastries too...Do you think I should move on?
Shall we take a vote?
