Baba au Rhum is a rum-soaked cake which is a Parisian dessert staple. Not exactly apple pie and ice cream. This shop offers a premier example of the cake, among many other treats. It’s been open since 1730 and the reign of Louis XV, and features hand-painted frescoes of the time, depicting lovely damsels in 18th century costumes, holding flowers and pastries, natch.
