She’s like a rainbow.

I’m always fascinated by those weird and colorful looking cakes, I don’t know if I’ll ever have the patience of preparing them.

I found some of these pictures on the internet so I don’t have any links to them, but the last ones are from Martha Stewart, Whisk Kid‘s blog and Libelul‘s blog, and with recipes please!

Je suis souvent fascinée par ces gâteaux bizarroïdes et multicolores, mais je ne sais pas si j’aurai un jour la patience de les confectionner.

Hormis quelques photos dont je n’ai pas de liens, vous pouvez trouvez les recettes des derniers, sur les sites et blogs de Martha Stewart, Whisk Kid et Libelul.

Oops, too late!

Oops, I’m a bit late to post this one for French Mother’s Day, but it’s never too late to talk about Japanese pastry chef Sadaharu Aoki, established in Paris (boutiques opened also in Tokyo and Taipei), dedicated to desserts with a Japanese touch.
Here is the special “Paradis fraise” for Mother’s Day, which was available this weekend only in their boutiques, and at Lafayette, and other lovely looking cakes.
