As you know I do love sharing part of my life and travels with my blogging friends so I couldn’t pass up the chance to share some yummy photos from my trip to Jin Patisserie! A couple weeks ago I celebrated my three year anniversary and my husband took me out for a fun filled trip to Venice again where we ate yummy food and shopped till we dropped…I think I have an addiction to Anthropologie! So here are some photos from the day…enjoy!
As you will see from the mass amount of dessert photos I couldn’t pass up the chance to sample many of their desserts…this first photo is of their Passion Cake….think mascarpone, passion fruit, and fresh mango. It was so refreshing, creamy, and light, not to mention gorgeous…I loved it!
This next dessert was their Abbot Cake, named after the street the patisserie is located on. They describe it as “Caramel banana over a honey walnut sponge cake, filled with dark chocolate cream made with semi-sweet chocolate cocoa”…can you DELICIOUS!!! This was my husband’s favorite!
We also couldn’t pass up sampling their macaroons. We tried the Caramel Fleur de Sel and the Pistachio. Both were scrumptious!
Lastly, we tried some of their chocolates. My memory might be failing me here, but I think we ordered the Cinnamon, Green Tea, and Sea Salt Caramel.
Overall, we had a wonderful anniversary and our trip to Jin Patisserie lived up to all the dreams I had in my head. Definitely check it out if you are in the area!
Wow! What a great anniversary trip! Venice is such a magical city and an excellent way to spend an anniversary. (Not to mention the great food!)
Look at you so cute with your hat! Congratulations for the anniversary! I’ve drooled over Jin patisserie website a lot of times, good to know it lives up to its name! All sweets you ate look delicious and thanks for sharing!
Aww, it looks like you two had fun. Happy Anniversary!
Love your hat!! Looks like fun! I can’t wait to get down there to the LA area, as there are a couple of bakeries I want to go to. My mouth was watering!
Hey, do you know who Tyrone Wells is? We adore him, and his music, and your husband resembles him a bit. If you don’t know about him, go to his site. He is a Christian man, used to be a worship leader at an Orange County church, and now pursues his music full time. He has worship CD’s and contemporary. He is wonderful.
I Love Love Looove your hat!
Looks amazing! My husband is always making fun of me for taking more pictures of desserts on our dates than of him, so I can totally relate to your pictures. Thanks for sharing!
YUM! Those desserts are stunning. I love the last photo with all the shades of blue. Very cute.
What a delectably successful trip!! And I hear you about the Anthropologie addiction. When we were dating, my husband was trained early on that if we ever passed an Anthropologie store, we were heading in!
Happy anniversary! Loved the hat and the desserts looked gorgeous…like abstract works of art. I’ve alwasy wondered if they tasted as good as they look…..guess I’ll have to take your word for it.

Happy anniversary guys! I’ve already picked my favourites to sample taste in case I’ll ever drop by: passion cake and cinnamon chocolate

Thanks for posting about this patisserie. I checked out the website and couldn’t stop drooling. The next time we head up to LA, we will definitely have to check it out.
M- happy anniversary, what a lovely day for you two. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love caramel, fleur de sel and pistachio. Combining that with a macaroon is a true joy. I had a caramel macaroon at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bakery this week – amazing.

when I started to read this, I was like “Wow, a trip to Italy for her third anniversary! I’m going to show this to my hubby” and then I realized it was right here in California. Everything looks so mouth watering and fancy….love all the photos too. We will have to check that out next time make it down there. Happy Anniversary!
Wow – all those desserts. Sounds like a perfect day!

Im so envious! I want to eat everything that you had! Jin Patisserie is on my must-visit shop list and so is Patisserie Chantilly from South Cal!

I LOVE Jin Patisserie! Next time, you should try their afternoon tea menu, it has a small sampling of many of the desserts and a tiny macaron. And the tea selection… out of this world delicious. Happy anniversary!
