La boîte à gâteaux

Paris afternoon tea,watercolor on Etsy, 5.5" x 7.5
Here's something amusing and different Parisianne tour guide Anne Corrons of MesVitrinesNYC showed me...
Inside BHV a whole slew of interesting Xmas gifts complete in a box! Like this cake mix + recipes inside a box, just waiting for the wrapping paper!
Why haven't we thought of this idea I wonder?
Did you know the French are mad for "cake"? Cake for them is a loaf style tea cake and here it comes with the loaf pan plus recipe booklet included. You have to get the eggs, butter and milk I'm afraid...ahem
This is some sort of cupcake (?) concoction with gold doilies included... I should have looked more closely whilst I was stealing shots...next time!
A whole bunch of cooking gift sets in the window of Librairie Gourmande book shop!
Back at BHV, a mini stove box full of 14 different little recipe books! Sweet non?
This carton of "Fruits" is also full of recipe books (14) but what an amusing presentation! Who says the French don't know how to market?!
The same goes for the vegetable or legume carton...
Here a collection of verrine glasses plus cookbook! Don't you love it? So much better than just getting a cookbook on it's on for a gift don't you think?
Of course there has to be a bread gift box - this one is for a bread machine...
And another for making a baguette?
BONNE JOURNEE!
