Petite Trio By Peets Patisserie

An order came in for an "Adults Only" Dinner Party.
I was given free reign to "surprise" the customer.

Personally, I love variety, I love small doses of treats, makes me feel less guilty.  So there, our Petite Trio is born.

Start with the Passionfruit Delice, tangy topping with a creamy mousse, as a palette cleanser.  Next up, our Rich Dark Chocolate Cake with a Fudgy Frosting, very unsweet, very dark.  To finish off, enjoy your tea or coffee with a Salted Caramel Macaron.





Serves 15 people.
$60 or $4 per serve

Missy Aretha turns 13!

Update:  The party's over and the cake is cut (parents are flat out!).  
By the way, here's what it looks like inside.



Aretha turns 13 this weekend!  Officially, we are now parents to a teenager!
Turning 13 is exciting... but once you pass 26...You stop counting.  

For Aretha 13 means she's allowed on Facebook, 13 means she's a Teen.
She's celebrating her birthday tomorrow with her friends in the evening (it's our 1st night time party too!)

Happy Birthday Sweetie!
