I just walked in from work and there was a package waiting for me on the porch; I saw when I pulled up that it said 'perishable'! Low and behold the pastry has arrived!!!  ;D

Dervacumen, I'll have to email you pictures because I don't know how to upload them here. I took pictures of the packaging and everything. PM your email address.  

Ok, I got multiple people tasting this. My girlfriend, my sister, myself, and my mom. Upon opening the package, there was no damage to the pastry, everything was packed well. Like I said, I took pictures.

We all tasted it before I heated it, and the voting was unanimous, it was delicious. I personally thought that it could use a little more apricot, but Im an apricot fiend, but everyone else said the apricot content was delicious, and the almond flavor was in every bite. It was flaky, and not too sweet, which I like in a pastry. It pulled apart with ease when I was serving it to everyone. Nobody could believe how good the almond flavor was. When we heated it per your instructions, the middle was nice and warm, and it was velvety, and a little on the raw side, which I love.

So, to sum everything up, the pastry itself was buttery, flaky, and delicious. Could use a little more apricot in my opinion, but everyone else thought it was a good amount. Definitely prefer the heated version vs the room temperature version. Also, there is a minor flaw. If you eat half the pastry in about 5 minutes, you get a little queasy.  :lol I couldnt stop eating it, well done Dervacumen, thank you so much for letting me be a part of this! Let me know if you need a better review, or have any specific questions you want me to answer. Im stuffed right now, and I cant write as well as I normally can considering I gorged myself on pastry. Bravo my friend, well done.  :cheers:

Dervacumen:
I'm just really really happy.  Regarding the Mikezilla comment about the apricots, take a look at this one that I made today.  It's a totally different experience, from the raw ingredients to the creation and application of the filling.  I'm quietly compiling your feedback for those in round two.   I guess there's good and bad being first in line.  You don't have to wait, but those at the end will benefit from all you early adopters. :laugh:

So, when I saw that this was in the mail yesterday, I thought about bringing it with me to my Wednesday night bowling league.  After I sampled a piece, I decided to keep it all to myself!   ;D

This morning, I decided to do it right, and heat up a couple of servings.  So I cut some pieces, put them in my convection toaster oven on bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes...  

What a difference!  What was outstanding yesterday, at room temperature, was even better warmed up!

The pastry itself I found to be just right.  Not too dense, not too flaky, just in between.  I also thought that the pastry dough had just the right amount of sweetness.

I thought the amount of cherries in mine was right balance.  Any more, and they would overwhelm the almond flavor (which was awesome, btw).

Bottom line, if I were a paying customer, I would have been extremely happy with this purchase.  My wife agrees.   :cheers:

Malenko:
I want one!
