Danish Pastry guinea pigs needed
shmokes:
I like the almond side. It doesn't hide all the filling and layered, browned pastry. My dessert preferences, though, don't really line up with middle America, so take that with a grain of salt. I go into a place like Applebee's or Chili's or Red Robin, Cheesecake Factory . . . and there's not a single dessert on the menu that I don't find revolting. It's like, you can't just have chocolate cake, it has to be a brownie baked into a chocolate cake, with caramel drizzled over the top, with a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between another brownie-cake layer, all of which covered in molten fudge with a cherry on top. Even cheesecake factory. You'd think a place called cheesecake factory would have . . . like . . . really good cheesecake, but the only one that is even edible is the plain cheesecake with plain strawberry topping, and even then it's a pretty poor cheesecake--but at least edible. All the others are just monsters--they're revolting.

Looks like there was some icing (maybe?) drizzled on the pastries in 82.jpg and 83.jpg in a previous post, I think it would look great on this one (minus the powdered sugar).

I agree. The original plan calls for icing and almonds. Kinda funny how you always go back to what works.

I agree. Most of our food is so bastardized we lose the connection with the essence that made it good in the first place.

Ok I got to this thread late because I have been sick but tell your daughter I said thanks that Im in the first batch! ;D
Im super stoked about this. I cant wait to get my batch in the mail.
On the Cheesecake Factory topic, Im the same way with dessert, I dont like a ton of crap on it. And being a diabetic, it needs to be really good in order for me to justify eating it, because it causes a spike in my blood sugar. I went to a CF the other day and I wanted the plain cheese cake with the strawberry topping, and they replaced the fresh strawberries with that fake high fructose corn syrup goo ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. :puke I was pissed.

I am generally a libertarian but I am a firm believer that federal regulation limiting this use of high fructose corn syrup is long overdue. It is ridiculously difficult get that stuff out of one's pantry.

Living so close to Mexico, we get the Mexican version of Coke, Pepsi, etc in the grocery stores. Pure sugar goodness, no HFCS. :cheers:
