Tarts & Truffles

Tarts & Truffles Homemade tarts, truffles, chocolates, cakes & cookies, by Lisa Arielle Allen. American & French-inspired, artfully custom made, fresh and from scratch.

Workshops and walking tours are always available! Located in Paris, France. Providing custom made, natural sweet treats for the Expat and French community in Paris. Taste comes first, but artful visual appeal is a close second! After decades of being a Visual Artist, I believe in treats that are a feast for the eyes as well as the tongue. I use the freshest ingredients I can find, always vegetaria

n and locally sourced when possible. I am more than happy to accommodate and special needs or dietary restrictions (Vegan, gluten free, no egg, no dairy, nut free, etc.). I love to do birthdays- cakes, cupcakes, some light decorating and even serving your guests! Since completing full professional training at the Ferrandi school in Paris, I have worked in several kitchens and now manage the Edwart Chocolatier workshop on rue de Rivoli. Please try to contact me at least one week in advance for simple orders, and 2 weeks before larger or more complex events. Private and small group classes available! Please check my website for more complete information, and send a message to make arrangements.

Yes, still making cakes! Taking a break from all the chocolate and press related posts to showcase a few recent cake orders because, well, I still love feeding people and making celebrations special!

We’ve got a tall wedding cake, deceptively white on the outside but filled with not one but THREE homemade fillings - Tuma yellow / piedmont italian hazelnut praliné, a sweet white chocolate caramel and rich maya red 70% ganache.
Contradted by a sugar free banana apple said cake for one very hungry caterpillar 🐛 baby, a soccer and chocolate obsessed four year old’s dream cake, a wedding cake tasting and a mini cake for home using up some leftover bits! And maybe some other bits…
Happy Wednesday everyone. Take a break. Eat some cake 😉

I can’t wait to open these bars at tomorrow’s back to back chocolate tasting events, and share them with my next group of curious tasters.
It’s a somewhat ambitious plan but we will get to at least six of them… learning about how chocolate is grown and processed in when all steps and players are respected, then waking up our senses to unlock the complex flavors and aromas in these exquisitely balanced bars.

First, a lineup of some of my favorite French makers, , and (and sneaking in my face Belize bar from because 🤷🏻‍♀️), and then a little wild world tour with chocolate from Indonesia, Thailand, and New Zealand, showcasing beans from some of the best corners of Peru! , and , this year’s new discovery!

The tasting will take place tomorrow (Friday, May 22nd), at 4pm, at .48.paris. There are still a few spot left if anyone would like to join - registration link is in the bio.
Otherwise, happy weekend!

This lineup includes treasures from , , , , , a delicous dark milk from and one of my favorites from .
Also sharing some samples from my very own homespun chocolate direct from the Tarts & Truffles kitchen, and probably some surprises from the upcoming festival in Bordeaux…

🌺 Yesterday’s celebration of love, light, new beginnings and the power of family - including the one you create and choose for yourself - was overwhelmingly beautiful.
My dear friend Wendi moved to Paris just two years ago, fully grown and single, her kids finally grown too, to fulfill a years long dream to start a new life in France. And look at her now! She has succeeded in every way, found a great job, a wonderful circle of friends, and now this great love and a beautiful life ahead of her with her husband Emmanuel. We are all so incredibly happy for you! Your joy and light radiates from you both all day and evening.

I created this pièce montée (also known as ‘croquembouche’) for their wedding festivities. If anyone else had ordered such a cake at such a time I would have never accepted, but for one of my Paris sisters I could never say no! But for her I accepted the challenge and I’m glad I did. The late afternoon sun wasn’t so kind to the caramel but we got a few goo pics first!

100 petit choux filled with a rich pastry cream made with (way too many) fresh Madagascar vanilla beans, dipped in a slightly smoked caramel and decorated with buttercream am fondant flowers I also made by hand.
She wanted a French cake so she got one!
But this American girl still loves a good chocolate chip cookie, so interested of the traditional nougatine base, I hid a surprise gigantic cookie at the bottom as a gift.

This wonderful celebration was a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to start over, to try something new and trust your gut. If you’re willing to be brave enough to dare to chase your dreams, you just might catch one. ✨

🍫 Unlocking the Secrets of Amazing Chocolate! 🍫
Getting curious about all this chocolate I’m making and going on and on about?
My new public series of chocolate tasting workshops is ready for booking at Atelier 48 in 75002.
A new format that combines independent and small group learning, sensory exercises, an introduction to how it all works and a formal tasting session of 6 incredible, award winning chocolates from around the world.
Each session we will taste 2 groups of chocolates:
A survey of different chocolates from around the world
A comparison of different artisans’ work with beans from the same country, region or farming cooperative.

Then, enjoy some surprise treats from the tarts & truffles kitchen and have access to exclusive bar sales from the bars we’ve tasted and other unique finds.

Workshops are limited to 12 participants in each group to keep it intimate and allow for great conversations and exchanges, so reserve your seats soon!
