Dreamin’ of a Dessert Xmas (Dessert #2 & #3)

Compared to my first Dreamy Dessert’s presentation factor, these two are remarkably understated. But don’t let that fool you.

Imagine, if you will, a light white sponge cake layered with strawberries and topped with white chocolate shavings. That’s exactly what Strawberry Bagetelle is. And while light desserts are normally ideal during the Spring and Summer months, this can be enjoyed any time of year. It’s red and white so the colors match perfectly with the current holiday season.

The Spring Basket Cup is an edible chocolate cup filled with a rich chocolate mousse. And as if that wasn’t enough, raspberries, blackberries and a piece of white chocolate garnish this “basket”.

Both desserts are exceptionally good. They’re something I’ve dreamed about, and you will too. Get them from The French Gourmet in Pacific Beach (San Diego).

I'm trying to get back into posting more here. I guess you could say I've been distracted. Since late February, I've been reading everything I can about COVID-19 (from reputable news sites like CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, and tweets from medical professionals). This virus is a monster. From what was initially a virus that was detrimental to the older population is now affecting children and young adults as well. It is no longer a respiratory illness, but one whose symptoms can vary and be just as deadly. The scary part is there is no standard treament or vaccine yet so the best thing hubs and I can do is be prepared. Early on (late Feb), we bought extra cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper (LOL). In March, I bought everything I needed to make fabric masks (i.e. sewing machine & gadgets, cotton fabrics, non-woven interfacing for the middle layer, thread, rotary cutter, etc). The following month, I started sewing. The pattern I used called for 7" elastic loop for each mask but that wasn't gonna work universally 'cause hubby required a larger size and I needed smaller. So for everyone else who wanted a mask, I cut the elastic (shown here) so they can adjust the fit to their liking. #fabricmask #3layermask #noseandmouthcovering #pandemictimes #covid19 #thenewnormal #shelterinplace2020 #willwearmaskpubliclyuntiligetvaccinated #germany #igersgermany #germany_insta #ig_germany #rhinelandpfalz #rhinelandpalatinate #rheinlandpfalz
