isabelle et vincent

The weekend after Christmas we had guests for dessert and I'm not much of a pastry chef so I headed straight to the french pâtisserie Isabelle et Vincent in Fairfield, CT. The glass platter was a holiday gift from my grandparents. It's supposed to be for cheese, but I thought it was lovely for sweets. Besides these 4 pastries, we also got a great baguette and some mini macaroons. Those bites of airy sugar are $60 lb, so you are forewarned! My other favorite Connecticut bakery is in Woodbury, Ovens of France. I've only been to each bakery once, so I can't name a favorite... yet.
