Day 16

Gateau St. Honore

st. honore is the patron saint of pastry chefs, and this is supposed to be his crown.

it is a big choux spiral with choux balls stuck with caramel around it. and the balls are covered in caramel and they are filled with st. honore cream. and then the whole crown is filled with the saint honore cream.
the balls are nice because they have cream on the inside and crunchy caramel on the outside.


Gougeres

so i have a new favorite snack.

these are choux with gruyere and a little black pepper, cayenne, and paprika. yum.

after i took this picture i ate these.
