You know, there have been cupcakes lately.
for Gilda (my friend back there in the armchair by the window)
who got completely spoiled (deservedly so)
in a shower which we had so much fun decorating for
And then we had cupcakes at Sugar Daze
You know, Cat’s place?
over in the motley area of Pigalle?
We were a small group apart from Cat – just Monsieur Maman
me, and Jacki from HJ Underway
It’s not the most flattering picture of me, but sadly rather accurate these days.
The group may have been small, but not the cupcake collection!
If you’re in Paris and love cupcakes, this place is a must.

Jennie, you look beautiful in the photo! Keep posting pictures of yourself every once in awhile! The cupcakes are lovely as well… mmm, yummy! We seem to be having a run of fancy cupcake bakeries over in the States, too.

You look so pretty and so Parisian! And the cupcakes? Don’t even get me started on the cupcakes!…YUM, YUM and one more YUM!
Alison says
Love seeing your face.
Ooh, cupcakes.
Caren with a "C" says
Yum! We made cupcakes in cones today. You look beautiful! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Andrea says
Nonsense. You are gorgeous. Who isn’t in Paris?
Did you have one of each of those cupcakes? I’m afraid I would have been tempted. And then given into the temptation.
Beautiful shower for your friend!
Mom says
Reminds me of your brother’s VERY BLUE birthday cake for me when you were young. And your own culinary contribution, which you called “baker’s ‘taters”.
Ann says
But to choose, TO CHOOSE?!? What a lucky mommy-to-be.
Kimberly says
I want to roll in that icing.
Michael says
Hey, nice post! And that isn’t a half-bad pic of me if I do say so myself.
By the way, I nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. You can check it out at my site.
It was great meeting you and I can’t wait to hear more about you in your blog. I also hope we meet again soon.
ladyjennie says
Thanks Michael! It was really great to meet you too.

Oh my gosh, I want a cupcake. Right now.

Pretty cupcakes! 🙂
My Inner Chick says
You had me on the title, honey.
Great Photo of you, btw. Xx
Elaine A. says
Eating cupcakes in Paris. Definitely a dream of mine! They look both SO pretty and scrumptious! 🙂
Christina B says
Paris NEEDS cupcakes. My American friend that goes for three months each year says they ask when I am going to bring them “these cupcakes”. With all the amazing bakers in France (I am not studying at the Le Cordon Bleu in the US) there should be no shortage of amazing beautiful cupcakes!
Carole says
Those are some great-looking cupcakes!
You are too hard on yourself–the photo of you is wonderful.
Valencia Bowman says
I have to tell you that there are only 2 blogs I read on a regular basis- yours and my sister’s (she is the one who recommended you). I always enjoy your stories, and the fact that your experiences as a mom in France are not much different from mine in Virginia, USA, makes me feel like we are all part of one big human family. I love the picture of you, and I think you are just beautiful, as well as talented and funny. Keep up the good work!
ladyjennie says
Valencia – that is super sweet. Thank you (and thanks for reading).
Andi says
I totally plan on stopping by Sugar Daze on my next trip! I wish they had cupcakes (over even good cookies) when I was living over there – even though I was in the land of pastries – from time to time I missed those American treats!
ladyjennie says
Oh so you know Sugar Daze! Cool!
