Is it one of those days that makes you feel like flipping to the calendar and saying, Happy Birthday to Me? Then head down to Eagan's Pardon My French, where Frédéric Klein (half-brother of Patrick Bernet, the Patrick behind the terrific Patrick's bakeries) makes an almost-too-perfect passion fruit cake. See that there, in the middle of the picture, the bright orange gem topped with fresh raspberries and a dewy apricot-sugar glaze? It's a cinnamon-coconut sponge cake shell filled with frothy vanilla and sweet-tart passion fruit mousses. All we can say is, Oh la frikkin' la! And that it's a lot cheaper than an island vacation.
