0 Patisserie Yamazaki Paris

Framboise Fantasie, watercolor, 9" x 11"

The posh 16th arrondissement is loaded with posh patisseries...
And I've barely set foot in them.
This is pretty tragique - I must make up for this lapse next trip ...

I just happened to waltze by Patisserie Yamazaki enroute to the Musee Marmottan last October on 6 Chaussée Muette 75016
Metro: La Muette

As usual I ran in, stole some shots and ran out without tasting a thing - quelle dommage :(

Unlike the trecherous Financier Pastries now lining the shelves of my refrigerator and hips...ahem

I have more resistance in Paris - there's such a wealth of choices.

You know in the next block or so you'll find something irresistable. Pastry procrastination is easy in Paris.

New York is not as full of temptation...

C'est la vie...

I do promise to go inside and EAT something next time!

BONJOUR Yamazaki Paris!

0 Financier Pastries 2

Financier Petit Fours, watercolor, 9"x 11"
Drinking too much Champagne once-a-year is not that big a problem...
But becoming attached at the hip to a Patisserie just a short train ride away is another matter...
Dear PBers,
I need an intervention...
What started out as mere research for a petit four drawing project...
Has turned into an obsession. Ouch!

I tell myself I'm buying these delights just to paint them. Ha! They're disappearing faster than I can paint them :(
A few years ago I kept pastry temptation under control easily...

I only painted miniatures...

Under an inch high. Help me PBers.

Especially since I haven't tasted "Le Tropical. At least there is a remedy for greediness straight from Paris - Oddibil charcoal tablets created for pastry overeaters. I recommend it highly.

BONJOUR Petits Fours 2!
