Financier Petit Four Immersion watercolor, 9" x 11"
I'm been going through serious petit four immersion.Really I should be immersed in the pool doing water gym...
I recently discovered the wonderfully French New York patisserie, Financier Pastries. I had to buy their little beauties this past weekend to paint. Here's what's left of the original 16 that arrived home in perfect condition. They come sitting nicely on a presentation plate and they don't jump around...
Unlike the other brand's petit fours. These could have used some heavy plastic surgery once home...
Foodwalker, a professional caterer, asked me if they taste as good as they look.
Petit Four research sketches...
THEY DO! THEY DO!
I can fully testify to Financier pastries in particular. They really are mini versions of the grownups in the case. Not like the other brand - mostly just a bit of fruit afixed to a tartelette. I ate the fig-pistachio tarty thing on the far right...
To get in the right frame of mind to see Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris homage to the city of lights. Both were perfection - miam miam
I happened to pass by another Financier shop yesterday to check if their pastries really were as good as I thought they were...
They are! They are!
Green and white stripped awnings, lots of French-esque details AND they have macarons.
Their signature pastry is the golden bar-shaped almond 'financier' cake - their first shops opened near Wall street. Chef Eric Bedoucha grew up in Paris, got his training at Dalloyau and it shows.
Some of you have asked about Yellow Bird. I almost called this post 'My Left Foot'. Yellow bird has been recoverying from a foot injury but he's back with a bit of Scotch (tape) to the rescue.
