french pastry

For the boy who is a man and is getting married, and loves France, or chocolate, or skiing, or all of the above, I give you the Megeve Chocolate Groom’s Cake.

Named for the French ski resort town of the same name, this kinda looks like a big, delicious, chocolate mountain, doesn’t it?  With its dusting of icing sugar, I’d like to swish my way down the side of it with a fork right about now.  Beneath all those chocolate curls you’ll find discs of vanilla meringue sandwiched together with chocolate mousse.  Yum and more Yum.

I found this deliciousness on Martha Stewart, but I spy a little “F” insignia in the front, and I’m wondering if it stands for Fauchon, a food emporium in Paris…also known as HEAVEN ON EARTH.  (No.  Seriously.  Go there.  Now.)
