Searching for real buttercream frosting in Paris can be a challenge. In fact, after years of looking for the real thing (since Sugar Plum closed) you could say you just had to be satisfied with sugar icing in its place.
But now, since late 2016, this young French woman (with Haitian roots) has succeeded in mastering the art of buttercream frosting and has added it to her delicious cakes and cupcakes. What's more, she's convinced her florist neighbor to add beautiful fresh flowers as decoration and Voila - the perfect wedding, birthday and special occasion cakes.
It's definitely worth the scenic bus ride up to the 18th arrondissement to pick up one of these beauties. But keep in mind, for full size cakes, they must be ordered at least 24 hours in advance.
And if ice cream cakes are your fond holdovers from childhood, you are now in luck, too.

Paris Local Expert
- Ice Cream, Patisseries: "The joys of buttercream frosting, and I mean real buttercream frosting, know no bounds here. Flavors follow the seasons so expect a daiquiri inspired pineapple-coconut for spring summer with more autumnal slants come Fall."
- Best for Ice Cream Because: This mom-n-pop cake shop now offers ice cream cakes. This is the closest thing you'll find to Baskin-Robbins ice cream cakes in Paris!
- Best for Patisseries Because: It's extra fun to support young women entrepreneurs, especially when they make delicious buttercream frosting covered cakes with lots of love.
