I could eat that!
This was from Pierre Hermé in the 6th arrondissement in Paris.
Eating my props is part of the job. Paint it and eat it. Pastries smell better than sardines. Especially from Pierre Hermé.

The French love candy. I got this for Halloween a few years ago. It was part of the show in the restaurant where the owner flambéed cheese on the zinc bar at the end of the evening.
I never forget it.I was like wha….
He used one of those mini flame throwers that chefs use to make creme brulé.
It was snowing that night.

The history of French Pastries is fascinating. This is two puff pastries glued together with butter cream. One is glazed with chocolate and filled with chocolate cream. The other is flavoured coffee.
I love to paint shiny things. The glaze is brilliant.
This too is from the exhibition that I had in a restaurant in Paris.

When I look at this my mouth waters. I did two paintings of this lemon custard tarte. This is the second one and the tarte was getting tired. You can see it’s drooping a bit on the right side. When I finished painting this, I picked it up an promptly dropped it on the floor. The black and white tiles in my atelier were splattered with lemon custard. The walls got some scattershot custard.
This too is from an exhibition that I had in a restaurant in Paris. See yesterday’s post to read about it.

From an exhibition that I had in a restaurant in Paris. I painted 100 small format paintings of French Gourmandises and hired the restaurant. 54 sold on the first night. I had worked for 3 months to prepare them and blogged one everyday. A few people who came to the opening were scandalised by me selling 54 little paintings in one night for 100 euro each.
I remember eating this pastry. The mirror smooth chocolate ganache was amazing to ponder. The texture was rich. It was over the top.
