pâtisserie / baking ingredients
These are some of the things you might add to your dessert recipes, cold or hot, baked or not.

"arôme" (flavouring) ou "extrait" (essence / extract), "colorant" (food colouring).
You'll find "arôme" in bigger bottles than "extrait".

"eau de fleur d'oranger" : orange flower
water . Add one spoon in the mixture of a cake or a brioche. That's it.
"eau de fleur d'oranger" is usually in a blue plastic bottle.

Also : poudre d'amandes (ground almonds), amandes effilées (sliced almonds), noisettes (hazelnuts), noix (walnuts), fruits confits
(candied / glaced fruits).
Sucre vanillé : vanilla sugar. In France, "sucre vanillé" is packaged like "levure chimique".
Faster and easier than real vanilla, add some to the sugar when you make a dessert.
Chocolate chips : not so common in France. If they're sold, it's in this department. In French it's "pépites de chocolat".
Fruits secs (dried fruits) : figue (fig), datte (date), raisins secs (raisins), abricot (apricot), pâte d'amande (almond paste, marzipan),...
Vanille : vanilla
Where in a supermarket : close to the sugar, flour, eggs.
How to store it : several months before opening (see the DLUO), then a few weeks. You don't need to put them in the fridge, just keep in a box, avoid humidity.
cannelle / cinnamon
