before and after  by summerfield

before and after

for the sake of our art and today's prompt, i had to eat a cheesecake :-) well, i didn't have to but not feeling very creative today and had a craving for something sweet yet different. thank heavens for "patisserie la cigogne" which is just next door to us. methinks they're getting tired of me over there because they can't guess what i'm going to get every time i go in.

well, this was raspberry cheesecake. the individual portion. it was quite small, mind you. cheesecake coated in white chocolate sauce, filled with raspberry cream on a sweet cookie crust and topped with a real raspberry and milk chocolate twirl. yummy! gone just like that! burp! pardon my manners!

they still have about a million cakes that i haven't yet tasted, 'tis a good thing i have a third album. :-)
You CRACK me up. We all should be enjoying those together . . now wouldn't that be a great photo-op! You must become a food photographer, and do this for MONEY. That patisserie should be paying you for the gorgeous ads that he's getting. :)

I KNEW!!! you were going to go to the patisserie for the before and after shot! Now, this one had my mouth watering. I love cheesecake and I love white chocolate! And I agree with Karen- you should print some of these out for the patisserie and barter photos for treats!

Yummy, yumm, yumm! Oh this is SO GOOD! I love your collage!

@karenann - that would be great, if all my 365 friends come with me to this patisserie. as for the patisserie paying me, for promoting their cakes, yes. but sadly, they have a very good photographer and admittedly i am nowhere near his calibre. i can probably apply as a 'taster' though. hahaha! thank you, karenann.

@olivetreeann - heavens! you're starting to know me well. i don't know if that is good or bad. :-) the cheesecake is good but because i used to make cheesecake and people bought them, i like to think my cheesecake was better. but because i don't make them anymore...oh, and i love white chocolate, too! thank you, ann.

well, I see a lot of neat pictures in our future if there are a million cakes you haven't tried!!!!! It would seem your duty to try them and share with us!! Wow -- this looks delicious!!!!

@myhrhelper - control yourself, kathy!! hahaha. thank you.

@cscecil - if the would-be size of my hips won't hamper my movement, then yes! hahaha. it's a good thing that the servings aren't big. i wouldn't go there if i was hungry. just their smoke salmon quiche served with salad is something i'd die for. ahoy! i better stop this talk of food. hahaha. thank you, CS.

I've been dieting so I can only enjoy these things by viewing - so let me drewl a little bit
March 21st, 2012  
Wow that sounds so delicious. Great now I am hungry and it is late at night so I should not be having a late night snack. Hmmm what to do..... Very creative before and after shot by the way
March 21st, 2012

@alia_801 - i must say i haven't cruised far enough into your album because of this cheesecake. thank you, alia. :-)

@meoprisan - thank you, mihaela. every neighbourhood should have a patisserie, shouldn't it? :-)

@jannkc - oh, you so flatter me, jann. you are so sweet! thank you. but AAA never contacted me! :-( hahaha!

@danig - i'm not, i won't ever. i'll just bring you to the patisserie and make you eat a lot of dessert! thank you, DG.

@sanera - it was really good, light and easy on the stomach. i'll have more on the weekend maybe. thank you, sam.

@catsmeowb - see, that's what i mean, it's so puny i hardly could taste it. i'd need about five or six to even have a decent taste of it. hahaha! thank you, camille.
