Mr. Sprinkles

My Italian friend I've nicknamed Mr. Sprinkles because he's responsible for sprinkling all the macarons with chocolate or iridescent powders.

Closing

One of the chefs starts closing a tray of milk chocolate passion fruit macarons.

Friends

Saying goodbye to Mr. Sprinkles.

Last Tray

My final tray of olive oil and vanilla macarons.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, we made heart-shaped macarons filled with jasmine tea ganache.

Cherry On The Cake

This cake is called Cherry On The Cake and is the most expensive thing we sell. I special ordered one on my last day so I could take it home and try it. It's a milk chocolate triangle filled with six layers of hazelnut cake, praline, chocolate disks, milk chocolate ganache, and milk chocolate mousse. It's a bit like eating a huge piece of candy, but ten times better!

Petits Fours

On weekends, we sell minature versions of all our cakes. Don't they look tempting?

Olive Oil Vanilla

These macarons are filled with an olive oil vanilla ganache and topped with two small slices of green olives.

Champagne

Pourring champagne into plastic glasses for the team.

PH Model

Auditioning to be the next Pierre Herme hat model.

The Team

The members of the macaron team.

Fellow American

I got to know one of my fellow Americans while we did our internships at Pierre Herme. The macaron team referred to us as the chickens because we tended to talk a lot.

Lovely

This is after a glass of champagne, a glass of beer and two glasses of wine. I'm having a good time don't you think?!?
