Survival Guide & Everyday Adventures of an American in Paris

Je m’en fous, je veux mes Frü

March18

Even though France is supposed to be the best country for cheese, if you grew up American, you may have a slightly different palate. You may also love the delicious awesome taste of “cream cheese”. So far it seems to be a rather difficult product to find here in Paris. Therefore, all of the excellent foods that are traditionally part of the American diet containing cream cheese, are not easy to come by in the capital. One of those items being cream cheese frosting.

Sure you can make yourself a nice carrot cake, but then it is just sorta missing it’s soul without the cream cheese for the frosting. So if you are debating trying these Fru carrot cakes, wait no more. If you are craving a nice carrot cake with cream cheese frosting in Paris, this is exactly what you want. For those of you that have never tried carrot cake, this is a great place to start.

I highly recommend trying these.

As you can see with Frü carrot cakes, you get a really cool box.

These little carrot cakes are really the perfect size. Somehow, as if by magic, the packaging doesn’t stick to the frosting. There is also tiny chopped little walnuts on top. The cake itself is so moist and delicious, just the perfect amount of carrots and then out of nowhere comes a raisin. It is such a nice little burst of flavor in your mouth, you’ll want two.

I just want to point out, that I have no affiliation whatsoever with the producers of Frü Carrot Cake. I just think it rocks and that people who are looking for yummy American food in Paris should know about Frü. I also have no idea how many calories each cake contains, but moderation is a great guide for everything.
