It was my boss’ birthday this week, and she very generously got a beautiful assortment of pastries, cakes and tarts from Chez Jean-Claude Patisserie for everyone to have for afternoon tea. I felt a little bashful asking if I could take photos of someone else’s birthday food, but my workmates have definitely got into the whole food blogging thing and exclaimed, “Quick, get your camera, TFP!” My boss assured me she really didn’t mind, and so out came the camera. See why I think my workmates are just the coolest? :)
In this box, strawberry tartelettes, lemon meringue tartelettes and mixed berry tartelettes.
The vanilla slice (or should I say mille-feuilles?) was amazing. That cream was just amazing. The chocolate cake was soft and moist, with surprise hit of booziness somewhere in the centre.
These things are extremely difficult to cut (we cut each of these slices you see here into smaller pieces to share around), and the very last bit of vanilla slice was left in box looking sadly squished like creamy roadkill. Mmmmm, creamy roadkill… I confess I did eat part of a cream skid mark off the box.
Mmmmm, shiny glazed tartetlettes…
P.S. Paul, I do plan to try a JC’s sausage roll one of these days!

I love this site!!!
Oh my lordy that is some seriously explicit food porn! Those cakes look like they could leap out of the screen any minute – *sigh* if only!
cynthia,
Almost everyday?! WOW!
acute,
They were fantastic. If only I could’ve had one of each! But that would be far too gluttonous!
Katrina,
Thanks for the heads up. Are those legit awards, or just a way to increase site traffic?
I’m pleased to hear you love my site!
Serenity Later,
Yeah, if only! That would really be something.
Food P – I checked out Chez Jean-Claude’s website…your pictures look a million times better then theirs. You should offer them to use on their site and have them pay in pastries! :)
Delicious as always! Love the site!
yep! almost everyday.
