Last weekend I stopped by French Gourmet Bakery on Westheimer in Houston. You'd think that having French in the name would lead to amazing pastries, and of course a Napoleon. But, with great disappointment, I had to settle for some inferior pastries and go on my merry way! Apparently they used to have Napoleons, but for some reason discontinued them. How sad. Unfortunately didn't have many other French pastries to pick from, but I had to get something.
I got a slice of something called the Espresso, it had chocolate and coffee mousse between layers of cake. It looked great and the mousse was OK, but the cake was very dray and disappointing. I did however have a gingerbread ghost cookie that was awesome! The baguettes were also good.
Inferior eh? Then I want my half of that apple strudel back.
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll admit, the apple strudel was pretty good...however, that's not French!
