According to Tina Fey’s and Amy Poehler’s definition, cake is a fluffy dessert, that people usually eat on their birthdays, when they admit that they have aged. However silly it might sound, cakes can serve a lot of purposes at the same time: sometimes, they are baked to celebrate a certain occasion, whereas at times they are made to eat away our sorrow. When I personally see a beautifully decorated cake, it feels like my soul is smiling. You can imagine how long that feeling lasted when I bumped into the work of these gifted cake makers:

Du Bonheur
Du Bonheur makes a very interesting case of a cafe: it is open from early morning until early evening, serves coffee, breakfast, really nice roasted coffee as well as a lot of sweets, soups, brioche and irresistible quiche. It aspires to create an atmosphere comparable to the one you can enjoy when entering a French patisserie. It certainly does a great job so far.

Their specialty are quite elaborate and eccentric sometimes even alien looking cakes as well as chocolate and sugar sculptures that will make you question what is physically possible.
