Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Gateau Pithiviers
This is not my favorite thing from this unit, but I did quite like it! It's called a Gateau Pithiviers or a Twelfth Night Cake, although it isn't very cake like. Basically it is two layers of puff pastry sandwiched around frangipane. Frangipane, as it turns out, is not just almond cream--it is in fact almond cream mixed with pastry cream. Yum.
