Paris Cake Topper and Confetti

Paris is without a doubt one of my favorite cities to visit. Paul and I traveled to Paris last October for a wedding and it was honestly one of the most magical trips I’ve been on. However, had I had this illustrated travel guide, “Paris in Stride: An Insider’s Walking Guide”, I’m positive my trip would have been even more wonderful! Written by Jessie Kanelos Weiner and Sarah Moroz, two passionate ex-pats who give you an insider’s scoop on the best things to see, eat, do, and experience in their adopted city! The best part about this book is the dreamy watercolor illustrations. It’s full of detailed walking maps, sites, restaurants and so much more by Jessie Kanelos Weiner! We wanted to give you a taste of her beautiful artwork so we’re offering the most charming Paris Cake Topper and Confetti, illustrated by Jessie herself, for your next soiree!

“Divided into seven comprehensive walking tours that weave the musts into a considerably richer tapestry of lesser-known but equally compelling destinations, this practical guide will transport readers to a Paris only real residents usually experience: out-of-the-way winding streets, neighborhood cafés in which to linger, historical sites, interesting galleries, vibrant outdoor markets, and the kind of authentic and timeless places that one hopes to find when imagining a visit to Paris.” HELLO. We all need this book!

Gorgeous!! I made a chocolate Swiss roll cake today and it looked so dull sitting on the plate, so I printed this, glued it to an old cereal box and cut the figures put- it looked sensational! Thank you so much for transforming my boring roll into a Parisian spectacular!
