Artists Statement “Spring in Paris”
Our taste palette is based on the feel of spring: mint, blackberry,
lavender, raspberry and lemon. We were inspired by how spring foods
in general taste: light, fresh, new and unique to the season. We created
Spring in Paris to reflect that.
We focused on how desserts are often quite rich and heavy, like a
triple chocolate piece of cake, and wanted to create a confection that was
fresh and delicious without being over the top. In our take on two of
the classic French desserts, the millefeuille (meel-foy) and the macaron,
dessert is still rich but tastes light and airy, just the way spring should feel.
The bottom-most layer is a fresh lemon whipped cream piped into swirls.
Next is the macaron layer: we have a blackberry macaron filled with
lavender whipped cream, and a mint macaron filled with a peppermintvanilla
cream. Following that, your taste palette is again refreshed with
the breezy taste and texture of the lemon cream. Finally, our springtime
dessert is topped with mini blackberry-lavender macarons, tiny lemon
dots, decorative leaves, and raspberry jellies.
The elegance and delicateness of these flavors is magical without
being intrusive or soapy tasting. Dessert and Paris, magical and light,
together: Spring in Paris.

Delicious Confection
I love thee my sugary sweet donut
Quickly you flip in the skillet to bake
But before you must take shape as I cut
So yummy to eat, one more I must take
In the glaze and sugar you slowly roll
Rumbling in my stomach is all I hear
As I place thee softly in the great bowl
I love thee so much that I shed a tear
Wild Strawberry
Booming with flavor
Blooming with lively color
The wild strawberry

My mean siblings take thee away from me
“No, do not do it, it is mine,” I cry
They slowly bring you up to eat I see
I holler and lunge as I grab and pry
You can never compare to fruit or meat
Because you are just so lovely to eat
~Mary J.
