Window shopping

So I've given up on the Halloween quest, I found a chocolate place that sells a few halloween themed candies so I might check that out later, but I'll explain this picture. Now it's been a good amount of time, and things are starting to get normal, but it is still incredible to imagine how bakers do what they do here. Sure, in the US, we have good bakeries, and cakes, and well-decorated cakes and cupcakes, all of that. But this is another world. Walk down the street and you're never too far from some of the most beautiful and delicious pastries you've seen in your life! This photo is from a place that I like to visit every once in a while, the owner is Laurent Petit. He studied how to make le macaron at Laduree in Paris, the place to go for macarons...That is one of the main products, but as you can see in the picture, he knows how to make other desserts pretty well. I don't know how they do it, but the art of French patisseries and boulangeries is just mind-blowing, every single time.
