I often enjoy window gazing in France in the early evening.....
sandwiched between discovering pieces for clients and dinner.
In Lyon, I was struck by the beauty of one of Max Chaoul's wedding dresses!
2012 collection
Easy to see why he was awarded...
"Best European Creator of Wedding Dresses" in 2000, Venice..
and 4 times the Wedding Trends Award in NY.
Can you imagine walking down the aisle in this beauty!!
Afterwards....the traditional French wedding cake....
A tower of creme-filled, puff pastry balls piled high like a Christmas tree...
with carmelized sugar....
or drizzled with chocolate....
or with icing, sugared almonds, candied ribbons??
The cake is named "croquembouche"
named for the sugar...meaning "crunch in the mouth".
I welcome my French readers to tell me more about this wonderful cake.....
and please invite me to a French wedding ;-)
