Boutique Pastry Shops
|
|
Orders, mostly made for special occasions, are prepared individually. Boutique pastry makers use their own recipes and rare and valuable ingredients. When the chef finishes the cake, the outcome is so magnificent that you don't want to spoil it by eating it. The jury of the daily Hurriyet newspaper chose the best boutique pastry shop addresses in March 2006.
