If only there were Olympics
for patisseries I know who could lead the French team to the unrivaled victory.
It would be most certainly the talented author of the Paris Patisseries blog
Adam Wayda who is obsessed with Art of pastry to a cosmic, unimaginable and immeasurable
degree.
Cafe Pouchkine, 64 Blvd Haussmann
His descriptive volumes are literally
a sweet homage to the chef-d’oevres of pastry artistry, odes, sheer poetry devoted to beautiful creations of the very
best pastry chefs and their heavenly
delicious gems.
This guy is a genius in lieu
of the sublime taste description with the tiniest undertones, imaging and presentation. He knows the art of pastry
inside out from A to Z and soon enough became a celebrity himself. His love and devotion to pastry is highly
contagious so beware my friends.
The way he describes and
photograph a layered delicacy is enough to feel the taste and is soooo
tempting! You don’t even need to fight the extra calories and beat yourself mea
culpa over. It’s simply “I’ll have what
HE has…”
His top 12 patisseries are crème
de la crème. We couldn’t try all of them
of course, the sweet luxury is pricy and waist unfriendly mind you, but a few. The temptation doubled as these
elite pastry shops are serving numerous ice cream and sorbet flavors and even
one scoop in this July heat was a life saving indulgence.
And the champion is Café Pouchkine: the greatest, the
grandest, excelled in Art of Pastry,
the most spectacular one.
How to say Haute Couture in Pastry world?
Others may be very talented even virtuoso soloists in the colorful pastry orchestra of Paris, but Pouchkine is the Maestro.
Unfortunately they don’t
allow pictures inside café, only outside through the window thus the quality
laisser a desirer. Anyway I can't come even close to the fine imagery of Paris Patisseries, so for any references regarding sweet marvels please visit this blog.
I hardly had time to snap
shot of what we’ve got for our little picnic in Parc Monceau as the trophies started to disappear oh too fast. I could have been left without degustation if
I delayed a bit longer with the camera.
If you are visiting Paris and decide to splurge a bit on pastry Paris Patisseries is your best guide but whatever you decide don’t miss Café Puchkine in Au Printemps or you won’t forgive yourself...It's beyond the most daring imagination.
