Time for Dessert

Two marvellous cakes from one of our closest boulangeries/patisseries here in Paris's 13th arrondissement. For the blip, I was attracted as much by the hand-written and -illustrated labels as by the lucious-looking cakes themselves.

I'm so stressedfrom putting this together that I can't face translating the labels--I hope most of you can figure out the essentials. ("Framberry" is from framboise--raspberries, the main element of the lower cake.)

The prices in dollars are around $30 and $25 (!); the prices in pounds would be about 10% less than those in Euros (22.50? and 18?). But the quality is very high :)
