French treats!


One of the joys of living in France is the exquisitely prepared desserts. Check out the little morsel to the left, called étincelant ressucité.  I can't figure out the real translation, but it might be "risen brilliance" or perhaps "rise and shine".

It is a little raspberry cake surrounded by mango custard and topped with a shaved chocolate leaf and groseilles, which are like tart little cherries (yes those are real!). Dee-friggin-licious!
