September's Bliss

This is my birthday cake, I made It myself. It's a very simple chocolate cake inspired by a recipe of Cyril Lignac. I just cut It in the middle, put some mascarpone inside of It and on the top of It. And I had fun to decorate It with some macarons and rapsberries, cute and simple, the kind of cake I love to make !

Eva and Patrick are a couple from the Netherlands, Their wedding made me begin so beautifully my wedding season ! They chose the magnificient castle of Mairy-sur-Marne to celebrate this day with their family and friends came from the Netherlands for the occasion. The ceremony took place in the garden of the castle in the American way (I love this kind of ceremony !!!), It was a wonderful moment full of emotions. Eva decorated everything herself excepts some accessories that she bought on Etsy. I especially loved the cocktail, instead of the traditionnal "amuse-bouches" were croissants and other french pastries served with tea. The beautiful cocktail table made me think of "Alice in wonderland" with all these retro tea cups, old boxes and peonies.

A visit at Ladurée is as well a pleasure for the papillae as for eyes, everything is splendidly and delicately decorated. These photos were taken at Ladurée Haussmann but my preferred rest that of Saint-Germain-Des-Près.

I love the jewels created by the well named "The French Factory", I espcially love her macaron necklace.

On the occasion of the release of Tim Burton's movie, "Alice in Wonderland", Ladurée, creator of the famous macaroons has opened a lovely tearoom in the store Printemps Haussmann in Paris. We are directly transported in the dreamlike universe of the film which goes very well in that of the macaroons Ladurée.
