Temptation: Pix Patisserie

Sorry in advance, but I’m going to put some visual temptation right in front of you.

This delightful array of indulgence is from a little original establishment in Portland called Pix Patisserie. Now if you are going to cave to temptation, this is the way to go.

Pix Patisserie was opened by pastry chef Cheryl Wakerhauser who was trained at the pâtisserie of MOF Philippe Urraca in Southern France. In 2001 she moved to Portland and established a cute and intimate shoulder-to-shoulder little shop serving her eccentric and distinctive style pastries and handmade chocolates.



The pastry (center back) is called Amélie and winner of the Patis France Chocolate Competition! This is an amazing accomplishment for such a young pastry chef as Cheryl (early 30's) and the fact that she is from the United States and not French born. Amélie is orange vanilla crème brûlée which sits atop a glazed chocolate mousse with caramelized hazelnuts, praline crisp, and Cointreau génoise.
