Aux Merveilleux de Fred

et voila!

Aux Merveilleux de Fred

"Fred" is Frédérick Vaucamps and his pastry shops are described as

"A visual and olfactory experience, the Merveilleux are made in

front of the customer in each of the stores."

So what is this Merveilleux? In a variety of versions

the core is a feather-light meringue coated in chocolate whipped cream with 

shavings of dark chocolate.  Miam-miam!

He has given each of the varieties fanciful names:

The Incroyable, the Impensable, the Magnifique, the Excentrique,

 and the Sans-Culotte.  Read more about these shops here
