Bonjour,



Felicitations to Stephanie Anderson for accepting the challenge of helping Chantal to manage our Marietta location. Bonne chance.

As we’re getting closer to Valentine’s day you certainly notice a change in the shape of our cookies.

We also are working to make new individual desserts and chocolate candy, meringue and more so as you taste them, it will bring the “French lover attitude” in you.

But as I mentioned to you the previous years you don’t have to wait until February 14th to be “the French lover”….

The New Orleans King’s cake and  the galette des Rois will be available until Mardi Gras which is February 12th this year. And the pie of the month is a cherry pie.

A bientot

Fall is here!

Bonjour,

By now you should feel that fall is already here along with the smell of the spices coming out of our kitchen ….

Cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg are going through some serious damage with our pastry Chef but they are a big help to make our pumpkin bread, cookies and even our new pumpkin macaron de Paris so much better, the speculos are back as well as the apple pie.

All our Halloween specialties are also back from the grave (not really) and a few surprises are coming soon as well.

A bientot

Pie Pie Pie ...

Bonjour,

Pie, pie, pie… with Thanksgiving coming soon Pies are 24/7 in my mind. During the day between the cranberry walnut pie, the pumpkin crème brulée, the pecan pie, the apple pie and pumpkin pie, we keep ourselves pretty busy and at night I have weird dream about pies. 
My weirdest dream actually was after eating our pumpkin specialties like the soup, the bread, the pie, the crème brulée that I turn all of you into a giant patch of pumpkins. 
But do not worry it only happens to pastry chef who makes hundreds of pies in a short period of time. 
As you can see on our website we do other things than pies. 
http://www.douceurdefrance.com/thanksgiving.html

Our chocolate turkeys are very popular as well as our variety of cookies. Our cake this year is in a shape of a leaf and it’s made of vanilla cream and peaches sautéed in a caramel sauce. 
A lot of you told me already it’s too beautiful to eat but believe me once you actually start to taste it you will forget the “Too beautiful to eat” really quick.

A bientot and enjoy Thanksgiving, your family and friends.

Boooo….jour! And Happy Halloween…

Don’t be scared, it’s only your favorite writer/pastry chef who is in the mood to let you know what’s going on at Douceur de France.

1st of all, Danielle and I would like to congratulate Morgan Fuller for being promoted to Manager in our Marietta location.
She has been with us for more than 6 months now; she is a hard working lady who also has a lot of pastry skills.
She knows how to kick butts and can be very scary, right on for Halloween.
Congratulations Morgan.

As far as our Halloween goodies go our Pastry Chefs have handcrafted wonders once again this year.
Take a look at our website and see our new additions to our traditional pumpkin bread and banana bread.
http://www.douceurdefrance.com/halloween.html
We are now doing cranberry bread, pineapple and rhum bread and last but not least chocolate bread.
There is also our Halloween cookies trays that are very attractive.
A lot of new pies already came out.
Our specialties, the cranberries walnut, our famous pumpkin crème brulee and the more traditional pumpkin pie, apple pie and pecan pie.

I also would like to take this opportunity to say a big  merci to Benedicte, Kevin and Arthur  for helping us with this year’s Taste of Roswell.
They helped us make this event a big big success.

Enjoy and Happy Halloween.

Luc

P.S.:  Some of you may have notice that there is a band called “Rendez vous” who plays every other Saturday in our Marietta location. They play and sing popular French songs usually between the hours of 11 am to 2 pm
