Hi kellypea,

Congratulations on the figs! It was a big moment in my life. Just look at it this way…if your husband and teen don’t like them, more for you!!!

Thanks, Zoë

How romantic! And what a beautiful dessert. If you can believe it, I just tried figs for the very first time today — both green and black. I enjoyed them, my husband is still processing, and the teen, well…
Happy Anniversary!

Hi Gina,

Thanks for stopping by. I know it is hard to not eat them all raw, which in all honesty is still my favorite. But, when they are in season I end up buying so many of them that I can sacrifice some to a wonderful cake.

I’ll let you know if we do end up back in France for our 20th. I think it deserves some major celebration!!!

Thanks, Zoë

What a beautiful post! I am envious of your lovely honeymoon, you should definitely return for your 20th anniversary.

The cake looks absolutely wonderful! I have always wanted to try cooking/baking with figs, but they are so precious & their season so short-lived I never make it beyond shoving them in my face raw & unadorned.

Hi Tora,

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you made the bread pudding, it is one of my favorite desserts. With all of the rain and chilly weather we are having, I think it is time I made a batch myself!

Hi Zoe,

Happy Anniversary and many, many, more! That cake looks as luscious as the bread pudding I just made from your Artisan Bread book. (I used left over Beignets from your brioche dough…it was wonderful!

Thanks, and again, happy anniversary!

Happy happy anniversary to you. All those fruits you used are just the types that get me excited about Summer. I can’t wait for them to come into season here.
