Wow! Those are beautiful and they look delicious!!! And 2 days to make? I call that dedication because I think I woulda had them chucked somewhere halfway through the process

They look wonderful to me and if someone made me one I'd love it.

I bet they taste great too.

I love to bake too but I don't think that I'd have that kind of patience.

Well if mom doesn't appreciate them, let me know where to meet you so I can get one of those beautiful pastries!

Oh, and I know what you're saying about mom.... my grandmom was like that and hubby's father is too. Last night was a joy

...... he lectured the daughter who's a good kid that she has to "stay trim" and then praised the one who's turned into wild child on her fake tan (which is currently an unnatural shade of orange) Then he spent an hour telling us how we were late (we were told 6:00, NOT 5:00) and how maybe if he ate some of the fruit we put in the fruit basket we gave him he wouldn't be so heavy.

WOW! Looks like it came right off the bakery shelf! I bet your house smelled heavenly while that was baking! I have made some things using yeast dough and know just how hard it is. Congratulations on perfection! I will help you eat it if the others don't want it.

My Christmas gourmet coffee is already, if they don't want it, I'll be right over!

You really did well, especially since you have not made this particular item before. You xperience shines through!

My mom always told me I cook like Julia Child; when I am finished, the kitchen is topsy turvy, EVERYTHING needs to be cleaned, but the final product is yummy, he hee.
