Well I can't help myself! The treats here are just too good to pass up.... so I don't even try to resist anymore. I will confess.... these treats were both bought on the same day, but from two different bakeries (be to fair to both, of course!).
This first one was very different from what I was expecting. Like I mentioned before, I basically just point at one that looks appealing and give it a go. Nothing is named so I just generally stick to something that I can recognize to be fruit or chocolate... seems safe anyway! Well this one was a vanilla cream custard/cake mixture (like all of the pastries here are - they don't have traditional cake like we have in the states. It is thin, moist cake with custard layers too so it's extra moist!) with a fairly thick layer of chocolate on top. However, it was chocolate anise flavor which completely took me off guard. It wasn't bad, but wasn't my favorite necessarily because of the anise. Oh well! Can't win them all, huh? There are enough other tasty ones here it's probably for the best! I would have to be rolled home if they were all so good! :)
Side View. :)
This little gem, however, was mighty good! It was a puff pastry shell, filled with custard, with sliced apples on top and a sweet caramel-type glaze on top... oh man was it good! I need to learn how to bake like this... and of course find someone to give things away to because otherwise I would probably eat myself into a food coma. :) A cookbook is still on my "to buy" list!
Top View - tasty, huh?
