Miette is French for “crumb”. Miette for me also means a bakery shop of fine pastries, cakes, desserts and sweets. In 2001, Meg Ray began selling layered cakes under a pink tent at the Berkeley Farmers’ Market. Her business grew and in 2003, she opened her first bakery shop in San Francisco’s Ferry Building. There are now four Miette bakery shops in California located at the Ferry Building, Hayes Valley, Jack London Square, and Marin Country Mart. Below are beautiful pictures taken of the bakery shop at the Marin Country Mart by Neely Wang {photography+design} .

For the past year, I have been enjoying & baking recipes from Meg Ray’s cookbook, Miette . This book is filled with recipes for cakes, tarts, cookies, homemade marshmallows and fleur de sel carmels.

You’re very welcome, Kay! I have read her beautiful cookbook as well, and I would love to hear which of the recipes turned out to be your favorites!
I don’t have favorites, but the recipes that I am enjoying right now are her meringues & cheesecake recipes. Ladyfingers, marshmallows and fleur de del caramels will be next on my list to make for Christmas gifts.
