Lotta work... and almost successful!

I undertook a serious baking event this weekend -- I started on Saturday night and then worked from 830a - 3p Sunday!  Taking breaks of course (to let things freeze/rest) - but pretty consistently.

Alright, so what was this thing...

 It's hiding under there! 

That was an actual instruction: "Cover with cardboard boxes"

 Croissants!

Can you see all those little layers?? I'm so proud!

Something didn't work right with the rising process - these little guys were really dense!  But the little layers were awesome & I'm not totally opposed to trying it again some day -- they are Nick's favorite pastries and boy, oh boy, did the fresh ones smell delicious! (And I learned that you could actually do this over THREE days, making a more reasonable amount of work per day.  Just gotta plan ahead...)

#4 check!  What's the fanciest baking you've ever done??
