Angelina's glorious pastries...

A little pastry lesson/lecon today in comparative analysis...

You will not be graded but the first two pictures are from Angelina...

These are from a patisserie ordinaire.
Can you spot the difference?

Back to the finesse of Angelina...

Mille Feuille de Angelina...

Lovely domes and cones at patisserie Gerard Mulot...

More domes and tartelettes...

Gerard Mulot's fraisier...

You pick out what you want at Gerard Mulot and they give you a ticket (pronounced tick-ay)

Then you head back to the caisse/cash register and get on line...

You pay and get your ticket stamped...

And head back to pick up your goodie.

They do have a corner seat by the window if you want to eat sur place/on sight...

Non-Gerard Mulot pastries are a bit lacking in sheen and perfection

Wouldn't you say?

True they do cost a bit less, but is it worth it?

I say NON!

Your hound can hunt for crumbs at Galerie Lafayette-Dalloyau. Why should he be denied the finer things of life?

For those of you gluten-free - a Paris bouquet.

Surely it will last longer than any Paris pastries...

BONJOUR PARIS PASTRY!!
