Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, etc. Those things are nice, but if you really want to rev my engine, create an Instagram with glamour shots of French desserts and shoes. Yep, this is a thing.
Parisian graphic designer and chef patissiere Tal Spiegel has done just that. Behold the wonder that is Desserted in Paris. The desserts are absolutely epic, and I really like the angle from which they are shot to include the out-of-focus shoes in the background. Okay, yes, they’re men’s shoes, but still, they’re colorful and fun and his photos are really interesting. And honestly, if they had been women’s shoes, it might have been just too much for me.
Chef Spiegel is especially interested in eclairs, but I’m not going to make the obvious joke. Draw your own conclusions. Enjoy the photos!

What a fabulous collection of patisserie. The decoration on the phallic eclairs is just incredible. I would feel sorry eating such artistry – though I would probably still devour it. I like the way he often coordinates his shoes with his pastry choice. It makes me wonder if he gets dressed in the morning knowing what dessert he’s going to eat or whether he looks down at his shoes for an indication of which one he should eat.

I wondered the same thing. If it were my project, I would start with the shoes, for sure. It’s such a fun and creative idea, and I love that he’s celebrating other chefs’ artistry instead of his own. What a cool guy!

Two observations. Likely obvious but I can’t resist.
1. Beautiful desserts. Breathtaking in some cases. And I don’t even like sweets!
2. That is a man with an enormous shoe collection and a bit of a fetish I think. Same shoes in different colours? Ahem.

I love him AND his shoe collection! Back in the day (read: a year ago before I started with plantar fasciitis), my shoe collection could have given his a run for the money. (See what I did there?)

I have also always had large shoe collections but high heels are killing me these days (cue weeping). But we are female. 😉

I looked at the pictures before I read the text (kind of a test for myself) and I was thinking you probably spent some time looking at the shoes–then I go and read the text….. seems like you know yourself quite well. Thanks for sharing these amazing pictures.
