Happy Valentie's Da(y)nish!

Raspberry Cream Cheese Hear Shaped Danish.

to commemorate the holiday of all holidays,the one that proves yr worth and how much others REALLY love you,and whether or not you're an important human being, I made heart-shaped danishes!




great name,no?

i made some last year,but i feel that these ones are much pretty and more heart-y.
hearty, or heart-y?that is the REAL question.

and now i will leave you with the quintessential valentine's day hero,and my future marriage match:

just kidding,because i already am cathy,sorry.or at least we're soul mates.

BEAR CLAWS!

almond/chocolate bear claw pastries.



today i made bear claws.
they are fluffy,flaky,buttery pastries filled with a sweet 'n' creamy almond filling.and i made some chocolate ones.yeah.
real bakery stuffs.


almond filling.

i used my own recipe for pastry dough and then kind of winged the filling,which was only a few ingredients.
i'm pretty excited.i hope that you are,too.



also,i am in love with the name "bear claw".claw.
i remember always seeing bear claws at starbucks when my sister worked there and i would visit her.
as i told jess earlier after i made these,starbucks is my biggest inspiration for pastries.do you think i would ever be facetious?!

one more for good measure:
