Description
Have you ever stood outside a Paris pâtisserie and simply stared? Rows of pink macarons, cakes frilled with cream, tarts glazed like stained glass, and in the center a tall, scalloped confection striped in pale pink and topped with sugar roses. Nobody quite has the heart to buy it, because then it would be gone. Instead they press closer, admiring, while the baker pretends not to be pleased.
This tall scalloped box is that cake in porcelain, and nobody ever needs to cut it. Light pink stripes run up its rippled sides, and painted blossoms dot them like sugar flowers. It holds small treasures inside. Place it on a vanity, a bedside table or among other pinks in a cabinet. It is a delightful gift for a sweet sixteen, a bridal shower, a pastry lover, or anyone whose favorite color has always been pink.
