Cupcake Heaven : Petits Gâteaux

The frosted confection paradigm has shifted from cake to the little tasty delights simply known as "cupcakes". "Let them eat cupcakes!" should be the phrase du jour unlike what Marie Antoinette exclaimed centuries ago. And the cupcakes served at Petits Gâteaux are definetely fit for a queen; I'd serve Marie a french vanilla :)


Nestled in Mont Royal, Petits Gâteaux is a quaint little place delivering the best cupcakes in the world, period. They serve a wide variety of cupcakes and I've tried the vanilla cupcake, the classic chocolate cupcake, the chocolate and truffle cupcake, the blue coconut cake, the lemon tart cupcake and all were just Lussscccious!


But once I got a taste of the caramel with sea salt cupcake, no other flavors would do! Caramel is baked right into the cupcake and the sea salt is then added to the fluffy, meringue topping. Sweet, supple and scrumptious are the prefect words to describe this cupcake. And the salt adds a fourth dimension. This one is truly ephemeral. If it isn't to you, there's something wrong with you, believe me.
