Not included in this photo is one very scrumptious chocolate chip cookie and a free baguette. From left to right - creme brulee, strawberry bavarian cream puff, key lime pie, lemon pie, a rum ball and red velvet cake. Tiny bites of heaven.

Petite Sweets
My latest obsession is Silva's Patisserie - a darling sweets shop in Vienna, VA. Silva opened the patisserie with her son Harry in 2008. Harry was a former pastry chef for the Kennedy Arts Center in D.C. Their shop features European-style miniature desserts, as well as wedding cakes and middle eastern specialty foods. When I googled "patisserie" I found that it is defined as, "a type of French or Belgian bakery that specializes in pastries and sweets. In both countries it is a legally controlled title that may only be used by bakeries that employ a licensed maître pâtissier (master pastry chef)." The first time Josh and I walked into the store we stood in front of the display case drooling over which perfectly crafted sweets to choose. This is what we left with.
