Fruit-shaped desserts trending in Metro Detroit
Annalise here, keeping on top of all the international dessert trends arriving in Metro Detroit.
The latest: Cakes that look like large sculptures of the fruit or nut they're flavored with are spreading across the country, filled with decadent mousse, fruit compote and spongy cake.
You don't have to go far down a social media rabbit hole to stumble on viral videos of food influencers testing giant raspberries and lemons from fancy Los Angeles bakeries. An orange version — complete with a stem and leaves — costs $25 at Aurora in L.A.
Dig in: Contributing to the trend here is Cannelle, a high-end local bakery with a location in downtown Detroit.
After seeing local food influencer Pattalinaeats try them, I knew I had to, too.
I had a lot of options for food-shaped baked goods. I chose mango, raspberry and hazelnut, though it was hard to turn down the others: pistachio, vanilla bean and a matcha-flavored dumpling.
Best bites: My favorite was hazelnut, with absurdly rich chocolate and Nutella flavors. The raspberry and mango also shone with bright notes and fresh fruit inside.
Note that all these pastries are giant, so share with friends. Around $11 each.
Flashback: Desserts that imitate fresh fruit are having a moment, but they aren't new. One famous French patissier, Cédric Grolet, has been crafting them for years.

This Las Vegas Hotel Pool Is Transforming Into a French Riviera-inspired, Champagne-filled Pop-up This Summer
As temperatures heat up in Las Vegas, one hotel is offering guests a way to cool off in style. The Fontainebleau, Las Vegas' recently opened 67-story luxury behemoth (and an It List 2024 pick), has unveiled the pop-up Sun Club, just in time for sunbathing season. Located on the hotel's third-floor pool deck, the Sun Club has taken over the adults-only Legacy Pool. This quieter, more secluded area is sectioned off from the rest of the six-acre pool deck and is ideal for special occasions or for those who simply want to kick back by the pool with a glass of bubbly. Speaking of bubbles: the Sun Club marks an exclusive partnership between Fontainebleau and Veuve Clicquot, the historic French champagne house. While this is the first pop-up of its kind in the U.S., previous Sun Clubs have made appearances at Europe's most popular resort destinations like Ibiza, Mykonos, Saint-Tropez, and Capri. Hotels like the Well Beach Club Vale do Lobo in Portugal, Roc Seven Biarritz in France, and Pesce Terrazza Forte dei Marmi in Italy have all welcomed the brand's iconic yellow-and-white striped umbrellas. And now, it's Vegas's turn. The Sun Club fits right into Vegas' buzzy summer pool scene, where guests take poolside lounging quite seriously. From staking out daybeds to keeping hydrated (a must in the intense desert heat), there's certainly an art to pool life in Vegas. Now, the Sun Club is making sure travelers stay classy as they sip and sun. The pop-up's distinct, summery look is the work of French design studio Marcel Poulain, who is also responsible for Sun Club's other iterations in Rome and Forte dei Marmi, Italy. With colorful umbrellas and candy-striped lifebuoys that double as ice buckets, the Sun Club is a full visual immersion into the brand's newest cuvées, Rich and Rich Rosé, alongside classics like Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and Veuve Clicquot Rosé (available by the glass or bottle). The crisp, sparkling wines come ice cold, and can be sipped either in the privacy of your daybed or cabana, or at the Legacy Pool's intimate 10-seat bar—so, in other words, come thirsty! An exclusive pairing menu has items like La Côte Caesar Salad, a grilled chicken club sandwich, and a tropical fruit plate, which you can order straight to your cabana. In the mood for something more substantial? The hotel's open-air, French Riviera-inspired restaurant, La Côte, is just steps away. The Sun Club will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will offer the Legacy Pool's full lineup of daybeds and cabanas, tucked amidst swaying palms and green hedges. If you end up renting a cabana, be sure to clear your schedule—once you're settled in with your glass of champagne, you won't want to do much else the rest of the day.

Rihanna Uses a Limited-Edition $3,300 Goyard Hobo Bag as Her Airport Carry-on
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Rihanna's Goyard bag collection is the envy of all It girls. She owns eight bags from the French atelier (that we know of) in various shades and silhouettes. But, as of yesterday, it seems her handbag arsenal has grown one bigger. On June 24, the pregnant pop star was snapped by the paparazzi at LAX. While some A-listers dress up for the airport, Rihanna's private jet 'fit prioritized comfort. She sported a tan hoodie, courtesy of her loungewear label, Savage x Fenty, which she kept unzipped. She styled it with a taupe tank top and Heather gray sweatpants. Rihanna continued her Speedcat streak, reaching for a beloved lavender pair from her Jan. 2025 Puma collab, distinguished by their elongated tongue. Pumas are a maternity must-have for the mom of three, having worn the pregnancy-friendly sneakers four times this month. Over the years, Rihanna has become a vintage bag connoisseur, collecting relics from Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Goyard. Naturally, she rounded out this look with one of her best finds. The beauty mogul carried the Goyard's Bohème Hobo in silver, choosing the style over her Croisiere, Anjou, Alto Hatbox, or St. Louis bags. The spacious style is available in 11 hues, but Rihanna's metallic canvas colorway is the rarest of them all. The sweatsuit/Speedcat combo is one of Rihanna's calling cards. Last April, she wore the same Puma sneakers with a simple, cloud gray hoodie and oversize joggers. Then, Rihanna chose a different designer monogram, augmenting her 'fit with the Louis Vuitton's Murakami Speedy bag. Up until now, my sweatsuits have felt utterly underwhelming. Turns out, all I needed was a vintage Goyard bag to spruce things up. View Deal $74 at Savage x Fenty View Deal $39.90 at Uniqlo

Sabrina Carpenter Is a Scene-Stealer in a Cinched Blazer and Skirt at Dior's Menswear Show
THE RUNDOWN Sabrina Carpenter took a break from touring and promoting her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, this afternoon and joined Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and other stars at the Dior menswear show in Paris. The collection marks creative director Jonathan Anderson's debut at the French fashion house. Carpenter channeled Dior's iconic New Look, wearing a blazer cinched at the waist with a pleated gray midi skirt. Her blonde hair was styled straight with curled ends. She added a black barrette, which matched her black Lady Dior bag. This is Carpenter's first Dior show, and she made the most of the milestone as she posed for photos: Carpenter made headlines this week when she introduced the alternate cover for Man's Best Friend after her initial cover sparked widespread discussion. 'Here is a new alternate cover approved by God,' she wrote on Instagram. Earlier this month, Carpenter spoke to Rolling Stone about her decision to release a new album while on tour for her 2024 album, Short n' Sweet. 'If I really wanted to, I could have stretched out Short n' Sweet much, much longer,' she said. 'But I'm at that point in my life where I'm like, 'Wait a second, there's no rules.' If I'm inspired to write and make something new, I would rather do that. Why would I wait three years just for the sake of waiting three years? It's all about what feels right. I'm learning to listen to that a lot more, instead of what is perceived as the right or wrong move.' Of Man's Best Friend, she said, 'I'm living in the glory of no one hearing it or knowing about it, and so I can not care. I can not give a fuck about it [feedback], because I'm just so excited.' She added of its creation process, 'I've really just been making things, excited about them, and then continuing forth. Not to be dramatic, but what can I do while my legs still work? I'm limber, let's use it. My brain is sharp, let's write. I try not to get sad about the fact that nothing lasts forever, but genuinely, it's such a beautiful time right now. I want to soak it up and keep making things while I'm feeling this way.'
