Pastries

Mmmmmm … Pastry!

If there’s one thing I love, it’s pastry. From strudel to fruit tarts to torte to these delectable filled croissants. Flaky, buttery and filled with cream cheese and stick to your teeth chocolat. Yummy!

I blame my mother :) and my European heritage that comes from her.

This lovely etched dome pastry stand holds my weekly stash of goodness. My husband makes fun of me, because no sooner do I load it up and it’s empty again.

But it really works so much better than those plastic containers in keeping pastry fresh and moist. Magnifique!

Plus, it’s such a pretty sight and makes me smile every time I go into the kitchen to warm up my coffee. It’s like being in a French boulangerie. Presentation really is everything, isn’t it?

    Okay… I need me one of those domes! I have stale doughnuts sitting on my table. Thank you for your comment and now I am going to go in MY kitchen and warm up my coffee and wish I was at your house drooling over your freshly preserved goodies!
