Pistache flavored mouse lighter than heaven and pistache flavored sponge cake interwined with fresh gariguette strawberries await my 3 year old's palette.  She'll be delighted, the aroma is enticing.  Did you notice the tiny piece of of gold leaf stuck in the glaze on the left?

Parisian Pastry n 107 - a painting a day

I'm back painting the Gourmandises Parisiennes.

La Polonaise n 107

oil on gesso board 5x7 inches

100 euro - 

This Parisian pastry has almond nougat, candied fruit and sponge cake,  topped with almond flavored meringue and sprinkled with toasted almonds.  I don't know why they call it the Polish woman - bizarre.  I have to add that I did eat it.  The inside was excellent but the meringue had a funny fish taste to it.
