Kings of Pastry
I love to see a grown man cry -- especially over pastry. For anyone that has every season of Top Chef on their DVR Kings of Pastry, the new documentary from the team behind The War Room, is a fall must see.

Artisan Chocolate in Charleston, South Carolina
Great sweets are nothing new in Charleston, but until recently this foodie dream town has lacked a seriously modern chocolatier. John E. Battles has changed all of that, turning out small batches of truffles and chocolates bars made from local ingredients in witty and unusual flavor pairing including peanut butter and jelly, parmesan and sweet basil and local bay leaf and cardamom. Sweeteeth chocolates are sold in several Charleston locations.

No Love at First Bite
"Er. No. More like inedible," came my surprised response.
It was a hard, chewy, lumpen bit of uninspired flavor. I put down the passionfruit and reached for the classic chocolate macaron, hoping that the passionfruit was just a fluke. But the chocolate was, if you can imagine, even worse. It had the consistency of a brownie that had been left on the table for several days. It's hard to believe that a patisserie as celebrated as Payard can whip up such lovely dessert confections, and yet have "macarons" that in all honesty should don't deserve the honor of the name.

Vegan Chocolate Truffles & Hot Cocoa
Claire Thomas has a fascinating blog entry about vegan truffles and the origins of hot cocoa in her latest post for The Huffington Post. Claire paid a visit to Intemperantia, a Pacific Palisades-based chocolatier that offers these decadent yet vegan treats. I couldn't agree more when Claire says "I truly appreciate food that's good not in spite of its challenges, but because of them." You can read the whole story HERE.

Kip Loves Ladurée
Julie Lightbourn received a fresh batch of Easter Eggs from Ladurée, and reports that "the best parts are the chocolate bells inside." I think her dog Kip would disagree--the best parts are all of it!

Good Morning Chocolate
The acclaimed Chelsea, New York restaurant El Quinto Pino just introduced a new morning menu featuring Ensaimadas, which are described as "larded sweet rolls" that originate from Mallorca. Even more intriguing is something called Submarino de Chocovic, which consists of hot milk poured over a Spanish chocolate bar. Um, I think I know where I'll be tomorrow morning.

A Good Egg
New York Magazine's website currently features a slideshow of this year's "most creative egg-and-bunny themed sweets." Most impressive is Jacque Torres's "Sleeping Monk," a hand-crafted two-and-a-half-foot tall chocolate egg of dark chocolate shell, complete with sugar daisies and six milk chocolate bunnies.
