Danish Pastry guinea pigs needed

<< < (19/54) > >>

Dervacumen:
Without further ado, here are the first four to receive pastry, in order picked by my daughter.

1.  Nephasth
2.  HaRuMaN
3.  shmokes
4.  Mikezilla

The rest of you, please commence with the hostility.  If it makes you feel any better, my daughter made it clear that her ranking was based solely upon name desirability for her next hamster, should it be a male. :laugh2:  Of course, Dervacumen is named after my cat so at least she gets it honest.

The second group will include:

5.  yotsuya
6.  knave
7.  Rando
8.  Hoopz

The last group will include:

9.  crashwg
10.  Le Chuck

Le Chuck, I don't get it.  I mean, she absolutely LOVED helping me play Monkey Island on the Wii.  I thought you were a shoe-in.

A few of you asked for specific things to think about while garnering and providing feedback.  I'd first say that because it's a layered dough many people expect it to be like puff pastry or croissant dough.  It's really not.  It's dryer than a croissant, and has yeast unlike a puff pastry.  Just take it as it is and let me know what you think about the texture and flavor.

Other things to think about are:
Did it arrive intact?
Did you try it before and after warming?  --> I'll include a note in the package, but pop it in the oven at 350F for about 8 minutes for the best result, though not necessary.
Visuals?  Doneness?  Texture?  Flavor, or Sweetness?
Toppings?
Filling proportions and taste?
What would you pay for it?  For a slice?
I'll likely probe a bit more after I get your initial reactions, and any free form thoughts or reactions are most encouraged.

Thanks everyone.

Le Chuck:
LAST?  Arrrrgh!

I bet if my name was Guybrush I would've been top pick.

Your daughter has good taste... possibly naming her next hamster after a turn of the century Brazilian Death Metal force! When I think cute and cuddly, first thing that comes to mind is brutal, rip-your-face-off metal. ;D If you let her listen to the music, she may reconisder... :lol

Impatiently waiting for the pastry goodness! :applaud:

I think if your name was Elaine she might have picked based on her next hamster being a female.  ;)

When I think of hamsters and Death Metal, I think of Harry and Flash Gordon who were my hamsters when I was my daughter's age.  Flash did the .. uh .. rip-your-face-off to Harry, literally, who was his dad.  Maybe my kid's channeling my memories.  You just did.
