A dress to diet for...

Friday, June 09, 2006 Posted by Eric


If you can't take it off, eat your way through this dress because it's made entirely of chocolate! I came across this shot at Stohrer, a pâtisserie in business since 1730, direct from King Louis XV's court pâtisserie at Versailles. Today it is still very popular, they even have a rack-load of postcards you can buy of photos of the chocolate Easter egg designed especially for Queen Elizabeth who visited in 2004. It must have been great for business!

PS: Paris Daily Photo general meeting is today (Friday June 9). Come and meet me!

    That is awesome! In German, we have a way of giving someone a compliment by saying "du siehst zum Anbeissen aus" (lit.: you look like one could take a bite out of you), that definitely fits for this dress! :)

    Have fun at your meeting today! I wish I could be there!

    Ooh la la! This is too luscious! My favorite things-fashion and chocolate (too bad they're not more compatible).

    Absolutely stunning! And this would be perfectly safe with me, I hate white chocolate!

    Oh, and I wish I had organized my trip to Europe around the PDP general meeting, I am so upset that I am missing it. Well, maybe next spring!

    Eric,

    I absolutely LOVE the video you put on the link for the picnic tonight! I'm sure NOT to get lost now! I was afraid you were going to get hit by a car though. Would love to see more videos in addition to your photos here. See you tonight.

    Bonne soirée à tous! Le temps sera doux et tout à fait propice, je vous envie, je l'avoue...

  21. Natalie said...

    If only there were some way to wear it without having it melt all over you. Well, I suppose there could be worse things than having white chocolate all over you. =)

  22. Jenny said...

  23. eurobrat said...

    I can't believe how they managed to make the chocolate look like draped silk!

    My fiance would love it if I wore that for my wedding. That is one creative baker/decorator.

    I will pay more attention to the shops next time i walk in the pedestrian street "rue Montorgueil": this chocolate maker seems really great!

    What an amazing confection! Thanks for sharing, Eric.

    I saw a great cake make out of all bakers sculpting chocolate that looked exactly EXACTLY like the Sorting Hat fro Harry Potter. It was so awesome. How could anyone want to actually eat cakes like these?
