Ladurée's Tiramisu 360: One Dessert, Three Ways, All Drama
Forget everything you know about tiramisu. Ladurée Saudi just turned the classic on its head, and gave it three lives. There are desserts you order. And then there are desserts you make a calendar event for. Ladurée's new Tiramisu 360 collection belongs to the latter. The French patisserie, already known for turning sweet things into grand gestures, has taken on the Italian classic with all the finesse, theatre, and cocoa-dusted confidence you'd expect from the house that gave us gold-leafed macarons and croissant couture. But this isn't just tiramisu with a new hat. It's three distinct creations, each reimagining the layers, textures, and codes of the original from a different angle. Together, they form a decadent trilogy: part homage, part remix, and 100% Ladurée. The Pastry Let's start with the showpiece. A delicate White Opalys chocolate cup , lined with a crisp coffee base and filled with coffee-soaked ladyfinger , hazelnut-praline , and an aerated mascarpone cream so smooth it feels like a hush. The entire thing is finished with cocoa powder, of course, because Ladurée may play with form, but never forgets the flourishes. The Macaron Then comes the icon. A tiramisu macaron , shells gently dusted in cocoa, filled with mascarpone cream and a sleek layer of coffee crémeux . It's the flavour of tiramisu in a single bite, with all the charm of something far too pretty to eat. (But you will.) The French Toast And for those who want to start their decadence before noon: coffee-infused brioche , slathered with mascarpone , dripping in coffee sauce , and sprinkled with cocoa. It's French toast, yes, but it's also an excuse to have dessert for breakfast and not apologise for it. The collection is now available at all Ladurée boutiques across the Kingdom, with particular buzz at Laysen Valley and Riyadh Park . Bonus: the Laysen Valley branch offers door-to-door delivery , so you can have all three components of your tiramisu identity crisis without ever leaving the couch.

Azza Fahmy Arrives in London With a Flash of Gold, and Colored Stones
LONDON — Egyptian jeweler Azza Fahmy is adding even more sparkle to London's Burlington Arcade with a flagship that showcases the brand's latest culturally rich, interiors concept. The flagship replaces a smaller, temporary store that Azza Fahmy had occupied in the Mayfair arcade, and neighbors include a string of vintage watch and jewelry shops as well as Manolo Blahnik, Johnstons of Elgin and Ladurée. More from WWD Luxury, Streetwear Retailer End. Names Sebastian Suhl CEO Unilever Shuts Sustainable Skin Care Brand Ren Bicester Village Marks 30 Years With a New Campaign, and a Britpop Beat The brand, founded by the jewelry designer Azza Fahmy in 1969, has transformed the space with an interiors concept that debuted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in September. Elements include a lotus-inspired chandelier on the first floor and a colorful, handcrafted tapestry that nods to Ancient Egypt's temple columns, flowers and birds. The brand worked with Universal Studio, and tapped Middle Eastern designers for some of the pieces. Randa Fahmy contributed a brass curtain adorned with Fatimid, diamond-shaped geometric patterns and the chandelier with its lotus shapes, a symbol of rebirth in Ancient Egypt. Bokja, a Beirut-based design studio, created the tapestry for the VIP area, while the marble flooring is by Marmonil and draws on patterns from Nefersekheru's tomb in Luxor. There are also pieces from the Fahmy family, including books, images and art. The store carries the main line collections, and the high jewelry — necklaces and bracelets that twinkle with tanzanite, rubellite and emerald. The designs also showcase myriad varieties of gold filigree, and many are inscribed with lines from Egyptian love poetry. While the jewels may be utterly glamorous and romantic, they are also very practical. Fahmy's youngest daughter, Amina Ghali, designs the jewelry so that women can put it on, and take it off, themselves. She also tests every design on herself and the women in her studio and office. Collar necklaces are hinged so they can open and close easily, and without fussy clasps. Chain lengths can be adjusted and pendants are detachable. All of the earrings — even the elaborate ones — have been designed so that it's possible to wear them and talk on the phone at the same time. A large horizontal ring shaped like an eye, and inspired by one that King Tutankhamun wore, has ergonomic grooves for the fingers and smooth, curved edges to prevent it from catching on hair or clothing. Ghali said she wants clients to be comfortable and to wear the jewelry rather than keep it locked up. She also wants her customers to come home at the end of the day — or after a big night out — and be able to remove their jewelry themselves, 'rather than having to wake up someone at home and ask for help,' she said. Azza Fahmy has 14 further boutiques — mostly in Egypt — and selected wholesale distribution, including Bloomingdale's and That Concept Store in Dubai, 51 East in Qatar, Beymen Department Store at the Four Seasons Cairo and the Four Seasons in Amman.

This secret garden in Soho is a cherry blossom oasis
Admiring the pink petals of cherry blossom trees is a treat in itself, but now you can take that spring splendor to the next level with pink macarons and cherry blossom lattes at Ladurée in Soho. The patio of the French bakery and cafe on West Broadway is packed with cherry blossom trees, which are currently in full bloom. To get in on the pretty pink experience, book a table in the cafe's outdoor garden. Fair warning that reservations tend to go quickly, though there are still a few available in the coming days. If you miss it this year, set a calendar alert for next April now. What's magical about the garden is that you can't see it from the street. Even if you've walked through Soho hundreds of times, you might have missed this charming spot. To find it, you'll enter the pistachio green doors of Ladurée, then head past the patisserie counter and through the dining area to the hidden back garden. Once in the garden, you'll find a collection of marble-topped cafe tables with cushioned green chairs. Look up to gaze at the pink blooms above—if you're really lucky, a gust of wind might even blow some pink petals into your hair. It's all very Instagrammable, so you might just want to wear a pink outfit to match the trees. Whether you're visiting for brunch, lunch, afternoon teatime or just a sweet treat, the menu is packed with French favorites, like the croque-monsieur, vol-au-vent and the pain perdu french toast. The teatime menu includes pastry, scones, savory tartlets and more. No matter when you visit, ordering macarons is a must—especially a pink one or two. The sweet cherry blossom latte is a perfectly pink accompaniment. Whether at Ladurée's garden or across the city, the fleeting nature of cherry blossoms is part of what makes this season so special. It's hard to predict exactly when they'll bloom and exactly when they'll be done for the season. So while the blooms are still here, go find some and snap some photos to remember on those blustery cold NYC days that will come back once again.

21 Mother's Day Gifts From Goldbelly For Anyone Who Loves Food (So, Like, All Moms)
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. From the mom with the sweet tooth to the pitmaster-mom-type who loves a good BBQ, these will deliciously tell them, "I love you." 1. A box of 20 macarons from the legendary French patisserie Ladurée for the mom figure whose proverbial pinky is always up. As delicious as they are beautiful, these pretty pastel treats will make for an unforgettable Mother's Day high tea. Fancy! Goldbelly The precise selection of flavors in each box might vary based on availability, but options include classic tastes like pistachio and raspberry, along with more unusual picks like black currant violet and orange blossom. Promising review: 'Delicious! We went to Ladurée while we were in Paris recently, so it was a nice surprise for my friend. Thank you, Goldbelly!' — Anne G. 2. A Four & Twenty Blackbirds salty honey pie straight from Brooklyn, because what better gift is there for someone who's as sweet as pie themself? This custard pie is a lil' salty, a lot sweet, and perfectly presented for your fave wholesome mom-type. Goldbelly Once upon a time, I lived not too far away from Four & Twenty Blackbirds, and even though it has been well over a decade and two states since then, I still think about their pies — especially their chess and custard pies, of which this is one. Ngl, I am heavily considering ordering one for myself right now, even though I am neither a mom nor in particular need of any gifts at the moment. This pie serves up to 10 and, after thawing to room temperature, can be warmed up in an oven set to 300 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes for fresh-baked goodness. Promising review: 'The taste of my pie was OUT OF THIS WORLD!' — J D. 3. Or, a cheesecake sampler of Junior's (an iconic Brooklyn deli) best cheesecake flavors, so your beloved mama can have plenty of options to choose from the next time she's craving something sweet. She can share, too, if she's feeling generous — the sampler, which includes big ol' wodges of original, raspberry swirl, brownie marble swirl, and apple crumb cheesecakes, serves up to 14. Goldbelly Guess what? I also used to live near Junior's, and yes, Junior's cheesecakes remain the Platonic ideal of New York-style cheesecake to me. Perfectly creamy but also beautifully light, they're just *chef's kiss.* Promise. Promising review: 'Each flavor in Junior's cheesecake sampler was delicious. Overall, this is the best cheesecake I have ever eaten, and I highly recommend it. I know I'll order it again. It's great to keep on hand in the freezer.' — Julie A. 4. A vegan taco kit, because nothing says 'I love you, mom,' like a perfectly curated Taco Tuesday menu. You get to choose two plant-based proteins from options like barbacoa and carnitas; combined with 16 corn tortillas, rice, both salsa roja and verde, beans, pico de gallo, and even two limes, they're the ideal taco fest. Yum. When Dallas, Texas-based Mexican joint El Palote Panaderia originally opened in 2015, it had a dedicated vegan night on Thursdays — but the Thursday menu was so well-received, the restaurant went totally plant-based in 2016. How's that for a ringing endorsement of these vegan tacos? Promising review: 'OMG — so good!! Some of the best vegan/veg tacos I've had. The tortillas are incredibly fresh, and the accompaniments are all well-flavored.' — Aditi P. 5. A box of Maryland crab cakes so massive, they're literally called crab bombs. Is your most cherished motherly person a former Marylander? Have they not been able to stop talking about the wonder that is Old Bay since they first discovered it on a vacation to the shore, like, a million years ago? Do they just really love seafood? Then these 10-ounce, filler-free crab bombs from Jerry's Seafood are for them. A+, no notes. Promising review: 'Really are jumbo crab cakes, hardly any filler, and perfectly seasoned. Consistently delicious, my go-to crab cakes since I moved from Maryland to Las Vegas. Almost impossible to get a blue crab cake here. I LOVE these crab cakes!!!!' — Debby W. 6. A pair of Chicago deep-dish pizzas sure to thrill your fave Midwestern mom. These two pies from Chicago institution Lou Malnati's come in a whopping 19 flavor combinations, so whether their preferences lean towards the classic (pepperoni! Sausage! Cheeeeese!) or the more experimental (BBQ chicken, anyone?), there's something here for everyone. Goldbelly Promising review: ' I used to live close to one of the restaurants and without being there, this certainly was the next best thing. The flavors and taste were great. Sometimes, pizza doesn't always taste the same when shipped. Not the case here. It was delicious.' — Jeff M. 7. A Stan's Donuts gift pack that'll make for the most legendary Mother's Day brunch of all time. Packed with six assorted donuts, a bag of whole bean coffee, and a mug to enjoy that delicious cup of joe in, it truly is the breakfast of maternal champions. Goldbelly The donut flavors include cinnamon sugar, vanilla sprinkled, lemon pistachio, coconut cake, glazed old-fashioned, and apple fritter. Three of them are traditional cake donuts; two are blooming cake donuts made with buttermilk and sour cream; and then, of course, there's the fritter, which is… well, a fritter, and therefore yeasted. Delish! Promising review: 'LOVED the sour cream donut the best, although they all were delicious. It was nice to also have the mug, coffee, and the cold drink cup/straw. Thank you!!' — Joye N. 8. An original Boston Cream Pie from Boston's Omni Parker House Hotel — the literal creator of the treat — because your ma is, herself, an absolute original, too. Fluffy cake. Custardy cream. Rich chocolate icing. What's not to love? Goldbelly I grew up just outside of Boston, and friends, out of all of the iconic Boston-area foods there are (New England clam chowder! Dunkin Donuts! The Fenway frank!), the Boston Cream Pie remains — in my book, at least — number one. This one serves up to 12, too, so hey, why not throw a Mother's Day party while you're at it? Promising review: ' The product arrived on time and in great packaging. It was absolutely scrumptious. I had friends from out of state visiting and we all love Boston cream pies — one of my friend's father had told her stories, when she was a child, about the best Boston cream that he ever had was at a hotel in Boston. Turns out it was this one! It truly was scrumptious.' — Jacqueline S. 9. A Cuban sandwich kit that'll bring the beaches of Miami right to Mom's front door. This kit feeds four people, including enough Swiss cheese, ham, pork, bread, mustard, and pickles to make four absolutely delish 7.5-inch sandwiches — and since it's from Miami's Versaille Restaurant, you know it's going to be good: Cuban sandwiches are their specialty, after all. Goldbelly Promising reviews: 'Delicious! And fun to share with guests! They helped assemble them for us.' — Constance M. 10. A traditional New Orleans king cake, because even if Mardi Gras is long since passed, your cher maman still deserves the party to end all parties. Shipped right from Maurice French Pastries in Metairie, Louisiana, this fun-filled package includes the cake itself, lots of icing, colorful decorating sugars, the traditional baby-shaped figurine to tuck inside, and — bonus! — a whole bunch of beads and doubloons, so you can truly pull out all the stops. Goldbelly Promising review: ' Best king cake we have ever ordered! Delicious fresh cake individually sealed. Icing is individually sealed! Colorful sugars, three big packages of vibrant colors. A huge assortment of doubloons! This was an exceptionally great experience. Thank you!' — Helene G. 11. A 'regional icons' BBQ sauce set for the pitmaster mom in your life. If she's at her happiest at the grill, this set of five sauces — a Kansas City-style sauce, a Texas sauce, an Alabama-style white sauce, a Carolina Gold sauce, and a Memphis-style sauce — will keep her full of delight for countless backyard barbecues to come. Goldbelly 12. A box of 12 scrumptious gluten-free cookies because a) milk and cookies aren't just for kids, and b) your mom-ish bud deserves to be able to enjoy a sweet treat even if gluten is off the table for them. From home-grown LA bakeshop Cookie Good, these delectable bites can even be brought back to fresh-baked, just-out-of-the-oven life after five minutes in the oven at 350 degrees. Goldbelly The box includes three each of four gluten-free flavors: chocolate chip, oatmeal rasin, snickerdoodle, and 'the Jake' — so named for its inventor — which features both dark and milk chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, honey roasted peanuts, gluten-free pretzels, and marshmallows. 13. A three-pack of whole bean coffee from Red Truck Bakery, in the event that mother dearest cannot function without her morning java. Fill her cup right up with the nuts-and-chocolate-accented medium roast 'Premium' coffee, the edgy and deep 'High Octane' dark blend, or the decaf 'Unleaded' option (if they love the taste of coffee but can't handle the caffeine anymore). Bonus points if she's a car person, thanks to the theming of each brew! Goldbelly Promising review: 'Red Truck Bakery is fabulous, and we would not have access to their wares if not for you! Delivered on time and with outstanding care.' — Sara C. 14. And a six-pack of stuffed bagels to complete the perfect coffee-and-a-bagel Mother's Day morning. Sure, your bagel-loving matriarch has undoubtedly enjoyed many a breakfast sammy in her lifetime — but has she had a bagel that basically is a breakfast sandwich all on its own, no additional assembly required? Well, thanks to these yummy picks from Moonrise Bagels, now she can. Goldbelly Choose from nine flavor options ranging from Reuben or bacon, egg, and cheese to pizza and buffalo chicken. Variety is the spice of life, right? Promising review: 'These stuffed bagels are excellent. I would definitely order them again.' — Kathy S. 15. A full-on dim sum set if your mom figure's favorite way to spend a Sunday is lingering over a good meal with lots of friends and good conversation. Jing Fong in New York's Chinatown is a dim sum legend — and with this big ol' kit from them, you can bring the experience right to their door. Perfect Mother's Day? Perfect Mother's Day. The set includes eight har gow shrimp dumplings, eight siu mai shrimp and pork dumplings, eight wontons, wonton soup, and mushroom longevity noodles, along with steamer papers, a bamboo steamer, and hot sauce and hot chili packets. Truly everything you need! Promising review: 'The dumplings were all amazing!!' — Nathalie W. 16. A buncha biscuits and a big ol' jar of jam ideal for the foodie mama who has a hard time choosing between sweet and savory. With these huuuuuge biscuits from Seattle's Honest Biscuits, she can have 'em sweet with the included jar of locally-made jam, or she can make 'em into the perfect biscuit sandwich if she decides she's in the mood for something savory. 17. A Blue Ribbon sushi night kit that doubles as a DIY activity because the best gifts are experiences, right? Now your sushi-loving mom can have their favorite food and eat it, too. Goldbelly The kit includes six types of fish, crispy rice, cooked rice, nori sheets, and a whole bunch of sauces and garnishes, plus a bamboo sushi mat — no need to spring for extra supplies! The whole thing feeds two to three people, just FYI. Promising review: 'Blue Ribbon ALWAYS delivers top quality fish, sliced and prepped to enjoy immediately. It is all packaged in beautiful and organized packaging.' — Cathy B. 18. Chicken and waffles from Los Angeles landmark Roscoe's, for the mater who knows food doesn't have to be fancy to be good. Take your pick of fried chicken pieces — wings or tenders, your call! — and get ready to enjoy 'em with three waffles, comeback sauce, honey mustard, syrup, and butter. 10/10 Mother's Day brunch, truly. 19. An ice cream sandwich sampler to remind your favorite mom or mother-ish figure that it's A-OK for parental sorts to embrace their own inner child, too. From San Francisco's It's-It, this box includes a truly staggering 36 classic, chocolate-covered It's-It ice cream sandwiches, plus six Chips-Its ice cream sandwiches in a whooooole bunch of delicious flavors. Goldbelly Promising review: ' There is a lot of variety. And the order was beautifully packed and shipped with great care.' — Brian M. 20. A cheese board kit perfect for the maternal type who both loves to nosh and loves to entertain. This sizeable set includes everything they'll need to build the ideal, feeds-10-to-12-loved-ones cheeseboard, from the actual cheeses (four of 'em!) to crackers, jams, and other tasty accents — and additional accouterments like mini cheese wire and a platter to serve it all on. Say cheese! Goldbelly Promising review: 'My favorite was the lemon and honey, though all were tasty! And nice portions!' — Rebecca P. Price: $179.95 21. And lastly, a dozen cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake, because, I mean, cupcakes. Who doesn't love cupcakes? Cupcakes are perfect for all occasions. They're fun. They're festive. They travel well. And there's a reason Georgetown Cupcake went viral the way they did. Thanks, moms and mom-types of the world. Have a cupcake. You deserve it. Goldbelly As someone who has been gifted with a gorgeous box of Georgetown Cupcakes on more than one occasion, believe me when I say that they are a delight to receive — whether you're a mom or not! This box features 12 of the iconic DC bakeshop's bestselling flavors, like red velvet, toffee crunch, key lime, and carrot. Promising review: ' Absolutely wonderful! Could not stop there were no more!' — Nathan D. Price: $75.95 The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
