A new sweet place in Granada - pasteleria Rey Fernando

It's always exciting for me to discover a new place has opened in Granada especially if it's a pastry shop. You know what a sweet tooth I am and how little I can resist to good pastries...Well that is just the problem...Good pastries are not easy to find in Granada. I guess, sometimes I have to forget about my frenchitude and just accept that croissants can be baked without butter and the same for crème pâtissière. Since I live in Andalusia, it took me quite a while to find a decent croissant (at Pan y Chocolate) or a good café éclair (at Casa Ysla). A few days ago, I was walking on calle Reyes Catolicos and discovered that a former clothing shop had been transformed into a very chic and minimalist designed pastry shop and the cakes presented looked absolutely alluring. So sorry, but there is no photo to show you because my camera battery was too low...arrgh...So these pics are from the pastry shop Rey Fernando web site. When I passed by, I just had a delicious solid lunch with a friend at Japanese restaurant Zakuro and although my stomach was full I couldn't resist to a cone of raspberry ice cream and bought a fig mousse to share it later on with Monchéri at home. The description written on the presentation shelf sounded very promising : purple fig mousse on vanilla flavored biscuits with berries and coated with white chocolate....
Well....in the end it was everything but promising....the texture was a bit chewy for a mousse and nearly tasteless but, never mind I'm still ready to go back to the brand new pastry shop in town, first to take some pics to share with you and naturally try more cakes !

Now, what I do like is the branding and packaging. I kept the cone slip paper because I found it really cute and I now use it for my little gourmand tableaux in the kitchen.
