L'Amour Fou de Petits Fours, watercolor, 9" x 11"
Still crazy for petits fours, I thought I'd try out the competition for the sake of variete. Mais quelle disastre! When I opened the box they were all slip slidin' away.
Staff grabbed the box, ran into the kitchen and tried to patch them back together. Unacceptable IMHO :(
Where are the little protective caissettes plissées that go under each petit four bien sur?
Mon dieu! I was mad. I was growling like these amazing not-to-be-missed animal sculptures of Ai Weiwei by The Plaza Hotel.
C'est la vie. I picked myself up off the ground and returned to Financier Pastries for a second set of petits fours.
A pastry artiste has to have something to paint. These are perfection. 
As a consolation prize I got a passion fruit macaron = instant happiness. When life gives you lemons eat macarons.
With all this mad, crazy love for petits fours eating me up, seeing L'Amour Fou/crazy love was a natural... 
L'Amour Fou is a French documentary about the relationship of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge, their amazing art collection and Berge's decision to auction it off in 2009 in a 3-day extravaganza. Read more about it in Elaine Sciolino's story here. 
The film offers an inside look at their lives together and the relentless luxury of their lifestyle. 
Yesterday Yellow Bird dragged me down to the Stone Street Financier branch for more pastry luxuries. Who does he think he is - YSL?BONJOUR L'AMOUR FOU de PETITS FOURS!
