'La cerise sur la gateau' at Frederic Cassel Fontainebleau.
More sweets today PBers but these are works of art and worth going to Fontainebleau alone for. I mean it.
The outside of Cassel's patisserie is unassuming at 71-71, rue Grande 77300.
But one look in the window and you're hooked.

We're in the height of red fruit season in France - raspberries, cherries and strawberries abound...
So no wonder there's tons of pink on display
However to choose among them? Fortunately I brought along a partner in crime to Fontainebleau, Louise of A Strong Belief in Wicker.
More desserts to taste when you have company...
Chef Cassel is president of prestigious Relais Desserts. All the top pastry chefs belong and they all generously participate in the annual macaron day in March by the way.
Cassel was also president of the French pastry team that won this year at La Coupe de Monde in Lyon!
At the cash register fraise de France confiture beckoned.
I meant to try a mini vacherin but got distracted...
The savory verrines looked terrific too! Don't miss patisserie Frederic Cassel if you go to Fountainebleau even if it means missing the chateau.
You can not go anywhere these days without bumping into a merry-go-round or 'round about' as Aussie Louise calls them...
Three little girls on the train home reminded me again of Summer red fruits but Louise says they are wearing this summer's hot color.
Rose Pomplemouse! It's good to have an accomplice along.
