Pink Valentine's Treats...Coming Later

Ever feel like you're running flat out only to stand still?  It's been one of those weeks, but the weekend's nearly here and hopefully we'll find some time to unwind before the big day on Monday - a day where you can prove your love for someone by buying them over-priced cards and yet another watch / necklace / pair of earrings.  Or you could just simply say "I love you" and look like you mean it.  Throw in a bag of cheese & onion crisps and I'm happy :)  Walkers obviously.  I'm English :-p

Anyway, we're coming to the end of our St Valentine's stuff for this year.  Some of the new listings have disappeared quickly this weekly and several people have asked (nay, begged!) to be told when the next listings will be going up.

So this is it - consider yourselves told! :)  In our Etsy store, Tonight, Friday 11 February, 9pm Paris time.  Unless I forget.  You can find out what time it will be where you live by clicking here.

Below are a couple of the pieces that will be listed.

Remember F5 is your friend...

Enjoy your weekend!

On dirait que c'est la dernière ligne droite en matière de Saint Valentin, et si c'est un plaisir d'imaginer les miniatures adéquates, il faut bien dire que la vraie chose ne nous emballe guère (on aime pas les trucs obligatoires! ) 

Il y a encore donc quelques miniatures à venir pour célébrer ce pauvre vieux valentin, et comme nos listings sont souvent  un peu "sauvages", pour votre information, ces bricoles seront dispo sur Etsy ce soir à 21 heures ....:)...sauf si on oublie;-)....

Allez les gens, on tient le coup, le week end arrive :)

Super Bowl Sunday

C'est le week-end  du Super-Bowl, une institution aux States, que nous connaissons surtout au travers d'épisodes de séries, "Friends" ou "The Middle" ou "How I Met Your Mother", .......un peu comme Thanksgiving, bref, c'est un mythe par procuration!

En plus, ici ça se passe en pleine nuit, donc à part la fois ou Prince faisait le concert au milieu et Billy Joel chantait l'hymne Américain au début (là, j'ai pas eu le choix ;-), avouons le,... j'en ai rien à cirer!

Pourtant, une des bonnes raisons de regarder les Super Bowl, ce sont les pubs, mais en France on ne nous les passe pas...heureusement, ya internet, alors si vous ne l'avez pas encore vue, voici une petite merveille.......

Que la force soit avec vous, les gens ;-)

We haven't done anything special in miniature for today's Super Bowl, but I hope you'll enjoy seeing this selection of 'American Pastries' that we made a while back...!

To say that we're not experts on American football is an understatement.  Although it's an institution in the States, we know it more as something that happens each season in shows such as "Friends", "The Middle" or "How I Met Your Mother".

Apart from having to stay up until stupid o'clock to watch the game, the other disadvantage in Europe is that we don't get to see any of the legendary Super Bowl commercials.

A few days ago, Neil showed me this.  At the time there were 36 views.  There are now more than 12,500,000!!!

You'll have already seen it if you follow us on Facebook, but if you haven't yet seen it, you're in for a treat!

Especially if you're strong with The Force...

To all of our friends and followers in the US, 
have a great Super Bowl Sunday!

Valentine's Miniatures

We've finally listed some Valentine's miniatures!

Chocolate, crème brûlée, macaroon, cupcakes... a bit of something for everyone!

Which ones would melt your heart?

Ben voilà, fallait pas désespérer, les voici les douceurs Saint-Valentinesque!

Tartelette au chocolat, crème brûlée de compète, macarons, cupcakes....il y en a pour tous les goûts :)

Alors les gens, qu'est ce qui vous ferait craquer, fondre, céder à la tentation......?!

A Sunny Day at the Pâtisserie!

For the first time in what seems like months, we have sunshine this afternoon!  It's still freezing cold outside, but the sunshine does make it more bearable.  Especially when it falls through the window of the petite pâtisserie...

So we thought it would be a great way to give you an early glimpse at some of this year's Valentine's miniatures, mostly unfinished and not even glued (late, me?!?!)

Enfin, après d'épouvantables journées sombres et froides, le soleil pointe le bout de son nez :) Il fait toujours très froid, mais au moins, ça fait chaud au cœur, et ça tape pile dans notre petite pâtisserie qui, du coup, se donne des airs printaniers, ouf!!

C'est le bon moment pour présenter le début de l'opération "Saint-Valentin", même si la plupart des miniatures ne sont même pas sèches, voire toujours en cours de finition (à la bourre, moi?!)

Allez, courage, les gens, le printemps arrive (on y croit très fort ;-)

A sunny day at the pâtisserie!

...and a sneak peek at some of our Valentine's pastries :)

...and some more...
