202 / 365 Big Wheel


Last night my sister S and I attended a small cooking class that was organized as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s 3-Day Walk for the Cure.  Our friend B is participating in the walk, and she had invited us to join in.  The event raised over $1500.  

Chef Lou’s menu included several breast-themed dishes and, as the grand finale, a Paris-Brest (seen above).  This French pastry was originally created to celebrate a bicycle race that ran from Paris to Brest and back to Paris.  The dessert is designed to resemble a bicycle wheel.  It was magnifique!
