An October Day in Geneva, Illinois

By Bellezza @bellezzamjs

You can hardly imagine the spun sugar creations from Alain Roby at All Chocolate Kitchen. There are pumpkins,

and caramel apples,

and bakery treats too delicious to chose. (My friend and I usually opt for gelato; the one I had today was a most luxurious combination of chocolate and cognac. Alas, I neglected to take a photo...)

There is a chocolate tree, where surely fairies must dwell,

and a truffle too rich and enormous for even this sweet-toothed girl.

Light from salt pillars and candles create a moonlit glow to come,

which cannot outshine the artistic touch of my friend's fingers,

nor the brilliant Sugar Maple trees across the street.

I hope your weekend is sweet, too!
