A Valentine’s Day special from the Marc Heu Pâtisserie Paris.
This pastry has a top and bottom cookie (for lack of a better term), with raspberries and cream in between. The cookies are very sweet and fruity – cotton candy came to mind. Once you break through the cake you get to the very soft-and-fruit innards.
Berries in general are not my go-to fruit, so I realized immediately that this might not appeal to me, but it’s difficult to resist something so pretty and edible. I definitely have a sweet tooth, but the cookies were just a little tooooo sweet for me, a little too in-your-face sweetness that I loved as a kid, less so as I get older.
Nevertheless, it was good, but it’s not something I’ll necessarily be drawn back to.
