Day 21: Mille Feulletage, Fruit Bar, Papillion, & Vol Au Vent

So I think I'm going to make a new work-out video called "The Perfect Body - Pastry Way". The only catch is, you make everything, but you can't eat it! Anyway, I'm kind of sore today in the ab area. Yes, the abdomen area. Rolling Pate Feulletage (puff pastry) will give you a work out! Actually, my shoulders and arms are kind of sore as well, though that could be from carrying my back pack around...

The Mille Feulletage is basically a round Napoleon, but it has powdered sugar on top with the burnt on (or rather branded on) Quadrillant design on it. The traditional Napoleon has Fondant and Chocolate on the top.















The Fruit Bar was delicious!!! I guess it helps when the fresh fruit is uber fresh and sweet, PLUS it has almond cream and from past experience, anything with almond cream is yummy!!!















Papillion is French for Butterfly. These are basically made the same way the Palmiers were made, but it was cut and shaped differently. Mine do not necessarily look like butterflies, but again, they sure were fun to make and eat!
















Vol au Vents are basically casing for a filling. These can be used for both savory and sweet fillings. In class, we made savory fillings which were quite delicious! Check out the rise on my puff pastry!!!! Not too shabby, huh? =)
