We have a very exciting week ahead, sweet Cou Cou community! While our Momma's deservedly receive the last hoorah on Sunday, this SATURDAY we are hosting two incredibly talented friends - .paul and for a proper pop up 💛🤍💛🤍
paul 's ceramics are full of life and grace and holy moly I could not imagine a better gift for your sweet Mom or courageous woman in your life !!

's tailorings and market bags are pure joy in textiles - bringing new use to old material, or fresh air into well-loved articles - his work is equally unique as it is treasured.

We're over the moon to host both of these talented artists and it's one shop you don't want to miss !

Guess who's back ?! 💗

Canelé make their long awaited return to our daily menu and we're over the moon !! This recipe has traveled with me a long ways - over space and time and many many states (of life and geography). Scented with vanilla bean and orange zest, they're otherwise quite traditional to their Bordeaux roots. Come on in and grab one (or seven)!

Are you needing a little extra sweetness for these long nights? Ooh boy do we have some options for you 💗 Cou Cou does cake !

🤎 Chocolate mousse cake - made with luscious bittersweet 64% dark chocolate mousse, seasonal house made jam, and moist dark chocolate génoise. Finished with silky dark cocoa mirror glaze and pistachios. (Pictured above)

🩷 Toasted almond dacquoise - textural almond flour dacquoise cake layered with rich hazelnut French buttercream, seasonal marmalade, and dark chocolate ganache. Bonus, this cake is naturally gluten-free (Pictured above).

💛 Chef's choice - super fun, super seasonal, super special. No cake is made twice, and is always full of components we are most excited about. Lots of love in all our recipes, but these cakes hit our hearts a little bit harder. (Not pictured above)
