Whether youre alone in the kitchen or with your children, I want you to enjoy beating egg whites into peaks, watching choux pastry rise, and baking a sponge cake to the most beautiful golden brown! Princesses (and princes!) are to fairy tales what chocolate is to dessertessential! And like chocolate, they can either go for a classic look or a bit of modern flair.

The princesses and princes mentioned in this book have been carefully chosen by my own personal princesseswho are very much with the timesand you wont find a single limp marshmallow among them: each and every one has quite a personality!

It is with great pleasure that I share our favorite recipes with you. These are the ones that make little eyes shine and little mouths say things like, So good! More, please! and, Will there be any left for snack tomorrow? These princess (and prince!) desserts are the result of wonderful moments spent with people I love. I hope with all my heart that it will be the same for you. Special desserts to make with the whole family I dont think theres anything better! Aurlia Beaupommier This book is for my daughters, Emily and Hlose. Who am I? Aurlia Beaupommier is a passionate reader of magic and fantasy literature.

After falling into a cauldron filled with apples, musketeers, magicians, and great explorers one day, she decided to join the French National Center for Scientific Research, where she worked for many years as a librarian. As enthusiastic about reading as she is about cooking, she now lives with her family in Normandy in a secret place where there are books, friends, and flowers and where she created these recipes inspired by princes and princesses. Contents The Authors Golden Recipe A Birthday Cake for My Princesses: Chocolate Cloud SERVES 8 DESSERT LOVERS Preparation: 20 minutes Cooking: 40 minutes 7 ounces (200 grams) dark baking chocolate 6 ounces (180 grams) butter 6 eggs 1 ounces (50 grams) flour 1 ounces (50 grams) cornstarch 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder 6 ounces (180 grams) granulated sugar 1 packet Smarties or other sugar-coated chocolate candy for decoration Salt Prepare a water bath by placing an empty saucepan over another saucepan filled halfway with water. Begin heating. Break the chocolate into pieces, slice the butter, and put both into the empty saucepan to melt. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C, th.6).

Crack the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Sift the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder over a bowl. Then add the sugar and the egg yolks, one at a time. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the egg whites and use a mixer to beat them into stiff peaks: beat slowly at first, then faster and faster. The whites are perfect if nothing falls out when you turn the bowl over. Pour the chocolate-butter mixture into the flouregg yolk mixture a little at a time.

This will prevent the heat from cooking the eggs. Next, add the beaten egg whites. Transfer the mixture to your favorite cake mold and bake for around 40 minutes. Let cool and decorate with Smartieslet your imagination guide you. This rich and incredibly moist cake is my princesses favorite . They love it so much it has become our official cake for birthdays and just about any other occasion! For dessert lovers with a food intolerance: Replace the butter with 7 ounces (200 grams) unsweetened applesauce and the flour with cornstarch.

Anne of Austria and the Three Musketeers Anne of Austria was a Spanish princess who went to France to marry the future French king.

Lively and mischievous, she enjoyed running up and down the stairs at the Palace of the Louvre (now a world-renowned art museum) and sliding across the parquet floor with her best friend. In Alexandre Dumass story The Three Musketeers , she gives two of her jewels to the Duke of Buckingham as a souvenir of their friendship. But as soon as her enemies learn what she has done, they do everything in their power to ruin her. Anne of Austria cannot go to England herself and asks the faithful DArtagnan and the courageous musketeers Athos, Porthos, and Aramis to retrieve her diamond studs no matter what adventures they encounter Sisi Elisabeth of Wittelsbach was not supposed to become Empress of Austria, but sometimes destiny has other plans. Sisi ascended to the throne beside Franz Joseph and went to live in the Hofburg and Schnbrunn palaces. Having grown up near lakes and forests in Bavaria, she was very bored in Vienna in spite of all the balls and horseback riding, and her obligations as a ruler often weighed heavily on her.
