no.388 140523 Thank you for the time to explore Toronto

I heart desserts:)

I like exploring in general. I love checking out new restaurants and dessert shops. Lately, I haven't been able to due to work and other things going on in my life. I had a chance to explore the part of the city I don't go that often. The result? Too much food in my tummy. Starting with some really delicious Italian pizza, to gelato and these cookies in the photo… mmhmm!

no.382 150517 Thank you for the yummy eclairs (I hope!)

Chocolate covered mini eclairs

The last time I baked eclairs, I didn't put enough salt... resulting in a pretty bland pate a choux. So I kept adding salt little by little when I was making the dough today. I just took out the first batch and... I find them a little too salty than I expected. But, I trust that they will be fine once I fill them with the pastry cream and cover them in a chocolate glaze. Mmhmm! Can't wait to assemble them:)

I'm thankful for my baking time. I surely enjoyed it with some of my favourite music in the background.
