This post normally celebrates my favourite
desserts from a cafe/bakery/pastry shop in the Geneva region. I have only
documented delicacies here that I have tried personally (and many times).
For this quarter, the choice of cakes is
small but equally fabulous.
Folar
doce de Páscoa
It is a Portuguese tradition to eat this
brioche during Holy Week. At Easter time, folar is considered a “must”. The
origin, back in time, of the Easter folar is not known. All that is clear is
that it is very old...

Avenue du Leman 69 - 1005 Lausanne
We love the Jean-Luc Guerraz cake shop,
located on the other side of the Swiss border in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, a
French commune located 10 km from Geneva. Many cross-border workers live in
Saint-Julien and it is a small town where Genevans like to shop.
The cakes in Guerraz are to die for and I
will definitely be ordering my birthday cake there. Any bets as to which one of
these has conquered my palate??

The Framboisine,
an incredibly delicious cake, made of layers of sponge cake, with fresh
raspberries, custard, whipped cream and completely covered with bitter dark
chocolate.
Alizee is
composed of two creamy mousses, strawberry and passion fruit, with a fruit
coulis jelly inside.

Fruit Tiramisu
Japanese is
made up of an almond biscuit layer, praline cream and chocolate ganache.
To finish, the traditional Aimé Pouly, a
kind of Geneva institution (see October 2015 review). We love their fresh and
delicious fruit tartlets.

Passionfruit mousse - yes please! I only recently tried Folar doce de Páscoa - yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis delicious cake-mousse is perfect for passionfruit addicts ;-)
DeleteQuel régal!! Tous ces merveilleux gâteaux. Comme je l'ai dit, je raffole des fruits rouges, donc ma préférence va incontestablement aux tartelettes <333
ReplyDeleteC'est quand, ton anniversaire? Eh bien, mon petit doigt me dit que c'est la Japanese. Bisous ma belle.
Salut Chantal! Non, ce n'est pas celui-ci ;-) Mon anniversaire est cet été ;-) Bises
DeleteOh my goodness - can I please dive into this delicious post?! haha. Everything looks so tempting, though my eyes are fixed on the 'Japanese', featuring almond biscuit layer, praline cream and chocolate ganache. Mmm...

Welcome to my blog and thank you for your sweet comment.
DeleteOMG. My mouth is watering. I am off sugar and eating less carbs this week (I went a little crazy recently and must now be good to make up for it), so all I can do is gaze and think about which one I would choose when my clothes tell me I can-:)
ReplyDeleteYes, please gaze at these beauties as much as you want :) Thank you, Judy! I appreciate your comment. :)
DeleteHummm que delicia de doces e muito bem decorados.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
Bom dia Francisco! Estou de acordo consigo, estes bolos são tão bem decorados que, às vezes, nem dá vontade de comé-los. Mas como sou muito gulosa (e seletiva) eles não passam o dia....hahaha
DeleteI would guess that you will go for the framboisine for your birthday - you put it first in the list, you wrote the most about it and it is a "real' cake, not a mousse. It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow!! You have a keen sense of observation and a good deductive spirit, dear Cresta Bear. Yes, indeed Framboisine is my choice ;-).... if I don't change my mind at the last minute and decide to bake a gorgeous birthday cake. Thanks so much for reading and for your nice comment. Have a lovely day ; -)
DeleteWow these are beautiful. I'd like to try the Red Fruit Tiramisu the most! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit, Susan ; -)
DeleteCan't decide which one I would like to try first, everything just looks so yummy.. have to try them all! *-*
ReplyDeleteYes, the only drawback of these beautiful cakes is that it is hard to just choose one. Have a lovely weekend Taís ; -)
DeleteI just had dessert and now I'm drooling over all this deliciousness! These posts are great!
ReplyDeletePerfect for the cake obsessive! Thanks for dropping by, Monica. Have a lovely weekend ; -)
