When California-native Frank Barron arrived in Paris in the winter of 2012, he was delighted to spend his mornings studying French at the Sorbonne and his afternoons exploring his new city, sampling pastries from arrondissement to arrondissement. Madeleines, macarons, éclairs, Paris-Brest, mont-blancs—you name it—he tried them all. But after a year of partaking in these sweet, buttery delicacies, he found himself longing for American comfort desserts, especially the classic layer cake. Taking matters, and some beloved cookbooks, into his own hands, Frank set out to recreate the desserts he’d enjoyed growing up in California in his new Paris kitchen. Soon enough, he started developing a devoted online following on Instagram as @cakeboyparis, and now thousands of people wait patiently to see what he will bake next. Sweet Paris is Frank’s love letter to the gastronomical world of decadent desserts. With stunning photography revealing the best of each season combined with delectable recipes, Sweet Paris is a one-of-a-kind cookbook you’ll pick up over and over again.
