I’m at it again. There’s a new blog post up at Beyond the Flavor, and it’s all about my love for Jenny Peterson’s Almond Pavé Cake at Paradox Pastry. This decadent confection has become something I must have every time I visit. Meaning, even if I end up getting something else while there, I’ll buy […]
