Cultured Cakes

I have a new mission.

I love to read, and I am a book store's worst customer because I will just go in for hours and read a stack of books without buying them. 

Sorry Borders!

Anyway...

While watching Harry Potter last night, I made a list of confections I must make. Global baking and pastry arts spark my imagination, you could say. 

The Swedish Prinsesstarta was my favorite. It's meant for a birthday, but can be used for more occasions of course. I think it'd be just perfect for a tween's tea party!

But my first foreign love will always be in France. I'd love to make a Croquembouche (Fancy tower of Profiteroles, cream puffs) for a teen tea party.

So that list...I'm excited for the challenge. 

Good thing I joined the gym this weekend.
