When illustrating Paris pâtisseries, my sense of alliteration makes me want to include pairs of people and pooches.
MIssion accomplished!
The gorgeous macarons you see here, however, are from a little piece of Paris in Brisbane. In a rabbit warren of suburban backstreets half an hour from the city, you'll find a delightful jewelbox called Madders Brothers Pâtisserie.
In Paris and Belgium, the word 'pâtisserie' is controlled. It can only legally be used if there's a licensed maître pâtissier {master pastry chef} employed. Judging from the petite edible artworks on display at Madders Brothers, they'd have every right to name themselves thusly no matter where on the planet they located themselves.
As for today's photo and illustration, rest assured there are no calories and zero spiking of your blood sugar levels. If you'd like to indulge in more such eye candy to take home and put on your walls, you'll find some here. Enjoy! And on that note ...
Happy Francophile Fluffy Friday to you!
