Gerard Mulot - Paris


We made our way to Gerard Mulot on the afternoon of a rather busy pastry-tasting day, so I didn’t actually get anything myself, which is a shame because after looking at all my pictures, I’m dying to know if all of these beautiful baked goods taste as good as they look.  I like how they look rather traditional, but are imbued with a personalized sensibility that make them unique.

The sheer range of goods available at Gerard Mulot is staggering, and it was as if volume of products at the sprawling La Grande Epicerie was fitted into this compact shop.  You can get anything from chocolate to pastries to bread to terrines here.  It would be an excellent resource for a picnic.

Apologies for the pervasive glare in these photos.

On many of these chocolate entremets, the strip of white had a bubbled texture look, sort of like alligator skin.

This reminded me of the caramel nut tart that I’d made for our restaurant project practical. It was actually how I imagined to it be originally (gooey), rather than how it turned out (crystallized).  I toyed with the idea of adding pistachios to our tart, but I was little suspicious of how the bright green bits would fit into it.  I think I like it better without them, but it does make it stand out more.
