One of the best culinary experiences of my life was a 9-course dinner at famed chef Thomas Keller's renowned restaurant, Per Se (Time Warner Center, NYC). If could have, I would've married that meal... it was THAT good. A few floors down from PerSe is a little gem also owned by Keller called Bouchon Bakery. I always try to stop by when I'm in the area; everything is delicious. They introduce great specialty items around the holidays (remember the gorgeous Easter egg packaging?), and for Mother's Day they're featuring the perfect little dessert - The Spring Bonnet Cake. Isn't it so cute? It comes in 2 flavors and is available in individual sizes ($9 each). Visit Bouchon Bakery to learn more. Some more of my favorite treats below...
