Homemade Croissants - Paris style!

During my last trip to Paris, i took this amazing pastry class at La Cuisine Paris. It was the highlight of my trip. I felt at home!! The chef was the sweetest lady ever and the people taking the class with me were from all over the world!

But let me tell you, croissants need time! And the smallest mistake can mess them up. You even have to make sure the weather outside is suitable for these french yummies. 

Lebanon weather is very humid, so yea I had some trouble making them but they turned out pretty good.

I guess I'll just have to keep trying (and eating) more croissants in order to get the perfect one.

So here are my babies before I left them rise!




And here they after rising! They rose quite  a bit didn't they?!!




And here they are after baking!!!




Et voila!

Paris, instagram and cake

Since my trip to Paris is just around the corner.. I thought I'd share the Paris-themed cake I did a while ago.



Eiffel tower and pink stripes. I opted for a girly simple look to finish off this cake. 



Oh, as for the pictures, I (finally) got to posting directly from phone! I've been doing many things lately and haven't had time to post as often as i'd like SO i'm going to give phone blogging (with instagram pictures) a shot.


I can't wait for my Paris trip!! I'll be taking some cooking classes so stay tuned for some delicious croissant recipes fresh from kitchens of authentic Parisian bakeries!!
