The Raspberry Framboise is my kind of desert! The vanilla custard was so light and pure, the raspberries perfectly ripe and plump! They worked so beautifully with the cake around it and the vanilla custard. It was like music was playing in my mouth and I am not kidding.

Now for the breakthrough my favorite Tiramisu of all time! I realize yours truly seems to be hyper enthusiastic pretty much on every post but this is real thing (cue song).  Let’s start with the presentation, semi sweet chocolate coffee cup (come on!)  filled with a  fresh, well balanced Tiramisu, not heavy on the coffee, or coffee liqueur at all! So balanced, so light and incredibly decadent at the same time.

Everything we tried at de Gascogne tasted crazy fresh, and you can tell everything is made with skill, care and high quality very  ingredients.

Montreal I bow to your bakeries! As I said before this trip was one of my bestest weekends ever! Thank you to my friends who took us to all these great spots! And thank you Montreal!!!

A bien tout!

Peeps, Ms Cherryspoon has been on this eating blogging path for a short while compared to my other blogger friends. However the knock my socks off bakeries have started to become somewhat less frequent. Fortunately there are places like Pâtisserie de Gascogne. (ooh la la!)

This traditional Montreal bakery has been knocking Quebecois socks off since 1957 and the founder’s rag to riches stories is even published. A very awesome friend had the thoughtful and brilliant idea to take husband and I there.

This Halloween (Halloween?!? Yes, this trip was all the way back in September) themed cutie pie, in case you can’t tell,  was a very good Pumpkin pie, the crust was delectable and the filling so light and fresh the spices were present but not overpowering there and the pumpkin still tasted like such. Little secret, first pumpkin pie I ever enjoyed!

More yum to come!
