I have the most incorrigible sweet tooth! No matter how much I try to concentrate on making savoury pieces these days, I always seem to find myself making something sweet!
This last few days it has been Danish pastries & croissants, thanks to a commission order for trays of them...& I was actually thinking that I might get a chance to make some fish & shellfish for a change...it seems so long since I’ve had a chance (or the urge) to make non-sweet goodies that I was really looking forward to making a mini lobster thermidor...one of my favourite dishes of all time! Then the commission order for pastries came in & as I’m away from my “mini sweatshop” again for 3 weeks..babysitting again...I really had no choice but to concentrate on getting the pastries done.
At least I managed to put a little croissant prep board together which was fun to do & fill a basket with some of the left over pastries I’d made for the order.
Guess what I just had to eat once I'd completed these...the most delicious, hot buttery croissant & I have to confess that the only way to eat them is to split them open while they are still hot & fill them with butter & golden syrup. I hate to think of the calories in a croissant the way I eat it!!

I absolutely love our little pastrys,they look so fabulous...I think it is always best to make what you are passionate about!!!
Minifood have to do is good, eat the real is better!
hahahaha!! Linda! Butter in a butter croissant! tss!
I always eat my croissants with jam :D (I eat croissants at least every Sunday :P)
I have a problem with sweet miniatures too... I think they're easier to make and I always have some sweet left overs; I need to force myself to make some savories :)
Oh Stephanie...you don't know what you are missing...split your croissant, spread loads of lovely butter on it while it's warm so that it starts melting & then spread golden syrup...mmm sheer heaven!! You need a large plate underneath though to catch all the drips of butter & syrup!! :))
Lovely Linda. I love to see others who are so passionate about miniatures. Not everyone gets it you know. Yours are wonderful. Mini hugs!
That chocolat looks great with the coloured wrapping!
I know it is hard to resist the sweet things. :)
Linda, I'm a jam freak, couldn't figure some syrup on my croissants!
But the butter, well... that could be tried :D
Where do you get your croissants? From your local bakery-pastry shop?
Oh! I was outbid finally! What a pity.
I was in love with the mini croissants.
Next time I will win....
Fabulous work once again Lin. If you get 5 minutes please call over to my blog there is an award there for you.
My mouth is watering looking at those Danish Pastries...
