A Word from Our Sponsors: Yoga Concept

American Pamela Levy has partnered with Cupcake Camp Paris this year to donate some wonderful prizes for the raffle, which we hope will generate some serious dough for Make a Wish.  Her shop in the Upper Marais, Yoga Concept, features all sorts of products useful for any type of yogi.  It’s a great way to exercise after a few too many cupcakes…

We asked Pamela a few questions to pick her brain a bit.

CC: So what’s your favorite pastry in Paris? 

PL: My favorite pastry is the lemon tarte from Ladurée.

CC: Your favorite cupcake flavor?

PL: Chocolate.

CC: Any particular reason why?

PL: It’s yummy!

CC: What's more important, the icing or the cake?

PL: The icing draws you in but the cake needs to taste good.

A Word from Our Sponsors: La Cuisine

If you ever need to learn how to cook something in France, La Cuisine is the place to do it.  Learn how to make baguettes and croissants or tour the local market before prepping lunch.  Offering English-speaking culinary experiences in and around their cooking school in the Marais, Jane and Olivier, long-time Cupcake Camp sponsors, dish on their favorite sweets:

CC: So what’s your favorite pastry in Paris?

LC: Paris Brest….love choux, and love pralines.

CC: Your favorite cupcake flavor?  

LC: Just a plain vanilla done really well is alright by us….but love carrot cake, so package that in a miniature size with a great frosting and life is good.

CC: Any particular reason why?

LC: Just like simple.  Something simple done really well can often be the most challenging!
