Those woven diamonds in the second pic look awesome.

Both good observations. I don't like the square one either, but maybe if I made it in a different shape I could do something with it. The idea was to make something that had a higher ratio of filling to pastry to accommodate that preference. I was making 1" circles with an apricot on top for "pastry poppers" and I had these left over squares with holes in them. Those poppers are really good, btw.
The woven one and bear claw are classic designs, as is my horrible rendition of a pinwheel.
The woven one always gets noticed, especially when it's dusted lightly with sugar. Still have a way to go on these...

I'd not worry about sending it to the group 3 people. I'm sure they've lost interest. I'll sacrifice and take their's though. I don't mind. I'm a team player. ;D

With all the improvements you are making I think the next batch needs to go to the group 1 people... so we can make a back-to-back comparison for you. ;)

That's interesting. I wonder if it would make sense to loop back on the interested parties to remake and ship each of their pastries using the current gen processes? This is what I do locally of course. Once I finish up the first round we can figure this out.
