Dessert in the Desert


When in Vegas, I stayed at Paris, which reminded me of Epcot with a casino and slot machines. I had the same feeling of fake that I get at Epcot. I must admit I was kind of disgusted at the people who marveled at the reproductions of the Arc, Eiffel Tower, and the famous fountains. If you want to see it, go to see the real thing. In the hotel's defense, the room was quite nice, large, and very clean. I appreciate a clean room. The soaps in the bathroom were very nice with a fabulous almond scent. And I did enjoy the crepes, pastries, and desserts at the Paris restaurants. So here is my photo essay of the desserts.


I must say that the weather there was gorgeous! It was divine to walk about in shorts and to sit out by the pool eating my box lunch from the conference, soaking in the rays. Once, I lived out in a desert-like climate and I miss it very much. The mountains in the distance reminded me of my old home.




The top dessert is a chocolate mousse with crunchy merainge coated with hard milk chocolate with the milk chocolate floral pattern on top as well. It was tasty and beautiful. Next is a key lime pie with raspberries. I think it was my favorite. The third is a raspberry mouse with lady fingers at the bottom and cake around the side. Very delicious.

The funniest thing to me about these pictures is the third one, which is all fancy, but you can see it's on a generic pink cafeteria tray.

Oh, Vegas.

the first two, I took up to my room and did a little photo shoot with them. The third, I had already checked out so I did it at the table. I should have taken the tacky pink tray away and shot it on the marble table top. It is crazy they would have marble tables and then icky pink trays.
Oh vegas.
