Petits Sucres

My friend Dani just got back from Paris and brought me some of the chic little sugar cubes she spoke of in this post…aren’t they the cutest?  A cup of tea is just that much more charming with a heart shaped sugar cube.

I don’t think you can buy them here in the states…or has anyone found them anywhere here?

    I adore these sugar cubes and cannot bring myself to buy the rectangle shaped ones. We use them at both our properties in SW France and our guests love them.

    I did not realise that you cannot buy them elsewhere in the world…..perhaps I should start stocking them in my online shop :-)

    A bientot,

    Leeann should definitely stock them in her online shop!! I play Shanghai Rummy each week with a bunch of ladies and this would just be the cat’s meow with our tea! And I even need a box to give all the girls. How adorable!

    Such pretty pictures! You should definitely see if you can order them and have the shipped overseas if there aren’t any store in the US that carry them.

    This is too perfect!! I am off to Paris in June and will search high and low for these little treasures. What a perfect addition to a cafe au lait. xo

    If you google “heart shaped sugar cubes” a bunch of US sites come up. Amazon sells them, but also this site: http://parthenonfoods.net/Sugar-Cubes-Heart-Shaped-800g/M/B000LQOJLY.htm

    It’s never too early to start shopping for Valentine’s Day!

    Growing up I had these in a certain restaurant in Monroe, Connecticut. I loved them. They’ve got to be in the US somewhere.
