Inspired by the most adorable spider cake I saw in a Paris bakery window, I made a version with Ina Garten’s Carrot and Pineapple Cake as the base. Studded with walnuts, plump raisins and pineapple it is a moist, rich and dense cake. The outside has a traditional cream cheese frosting, which I dyed orange. This is really the only time I’ll ever say spiders are cute and I love how they hang down the sides at varying heights. October 31, 2012
It was nice to experience Paris in the fall. On previous trips I’ve always had the luxury of the summer warmth and while this time it was an unfriendly 40 degrees, it didn’t stop me from taking in the city by foot. Most of Paris continues to be green but I was happy to find some autumnal colors here and there. Walking along the Seine river towards the Louvre October 30, 2012
I’m having major Paris withdrawal since returning less than 24 hours ago. So here we go, a Paris-inspired ORANGE post to celebrate the Giants World Series win #2 since I missed the entire thing as I was busily stuffing my face with pastries. “Napolean Noir,” Laduree’s gorgeous black box with an intricate gold trim. According to refinery29, they put together a special limited edition box for Halloween in the New York shop that has a macaron with orange passion fruit filling. October 31, 2009
