Pain de Sucre: Tentation

We picked up this beatiful treat (which my iThing photograph refused to do justice) at the well-known designer patisserie, Pain de Sucre (Rue Rambuteau). There you can find incredible tarts, madelines, macaroons, and even gourmet marshmallows (saffron, anyone?).  What looks like a simple rasberry tart is made more complex (and mouth-watering) by a pistachio base.  We also sampled a matcha mouse (filled with pineapples) over a curry crust.  There are cheaper patisseries, to be sure, but few have quite this many enticing, original, and decadent indulgences.
