I was surprised at how much I liked the sweet with the salty. Caramel is my favorite in Paris as well.<br /><br />I think the top is raspberry, then caramel, then pistache (I see Peter smiling), then maybe expresso or chocolat. Very good and the filling was very creamy. Thanks dear Amy for the recommendation!Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-22608814086553952212010-05-10T13:54:44.305-05:002010-05-10T13:54:44.305-05:00They certainly look that same.
