Afternoon Tea

I love how the French are so relaxed on the weekends. How if a friend is going to "stop by" it means they will stay for a couple of hours. 

I decided to have a little afternoon tea today. It was a gorgeous day, so we set up tea on the terrace. 

Bien sur, I went to my favorite patissiere, Delice des sens, or delight of the senses, on Boulevard Brotteaux in the 6eme. 

I couldn't resist these yummy little tarts: lemon with meringue and blueberry. 

I fell head over heels in love with this amazing cake! A fraisier, or strawberry cream cake. By they way, that is a real orchid on top. The French take great measures to make their food look incredibly inviting. Half the pleasure comes from just looking at it. 

A spot of Earl Grey tea with milk, heaven. My tummy is very happy!

Voila! Gros bisous de fraisier et a demain.

Love, Charley
