Cupcakes Gallery Printemps

OH NON! not more cupcakes!
Please blame BEAR.
Being a Parisien, when he sees the words 'CUPCAKES GALLERY' he goes bananas. And Printemps is co-operating fully...
With a BIG cupcake party in full swing...
Downstairs -anyone who is anyone is munching away...
These are just mini cupcakes + bagels svp.
BEAR, a recent New Yorkaise, adore les bagels and is moaning, mais je dit,
"Non! Absolutement pas NON!"
Eeeek - le prix!
C'est un peu tres CHER non!
A mini lunch box of 1 mini cupcake + 1 giant bagel with lox + 1 drink is 12 euros.

Still...

They ARE awfully adorable et jolie - regarde le framboise!

Les mini oreo!!

Et speculas et caramel beurre aussi...

All cupcakes are from BERKO in the Marais

23, rue Rambuteau 75004

BEAR is lapping it up on his home turf...

I had to try at least 2 = a citron meringue + a speculas...

BEAR, being a true Parisien, insists we visit Cafe Pouchkine on the first floor at Printemps...

Bien sur, c'est plus elegant!

OMG!

BEAR is eyeballing the dotty macarons...sigh

Only looking this time BEAR.

Oh les gateaux c'est extraordinaire!

Very gorge indeed...

Time for a cuppa? Bear asks...

Jamais!

We must keep running.

Only a few days left in Paris!

It's thoughtful of Printemps to have something for everyone don't you think?

Not everyone is cupcakes crazy...hmmm

But if you are, Please sing along with SEVEN NATION ARMY

I'm gonna fight 'em all, ze CUPCAKES
A nation army couldn't hold me back from ze CUPCAKES!
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their CUPCAKE time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night about ze CUPCAKES
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone, ze CUPCAKES!

BONJOUR PRINTEMPS!
