The apartment I stayed at in Paris was located just a couple of doors down from a bakery called Berko that had amazing cupcakes in the window, and somehow I managed to resist going inside until the day before I left. When I finally made it into the shop, I was met with a dazzling array of both mini and regular-sized cupcakes in flavors from red velvet to speculoos to salted caramel. An assortment of six minis cost a whopping 9,60 euros (or roughly $14)...and I have to say that it was worth every centime. I only got a chance to try the tiramisu (upper and lower left) and the chocolate mousse (upper middle) varieties, but they were both insanely delicious. Perfectly moist, dense cake, wonderful flavors, and creamy, dreamy fillings. I only wish I had discovered them sooner. (Or maybe not. $14 a day would have been an expensive cupcake habit!)

ReplyDeleteWell, no...but I probably could have if I hadn't eaten a huge falafel sandwich for lunch :)
