Comments on: Ganache Patisserie, Castlecrag http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/11/08/ganache-patisserie-castlecrag/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Surely the work of the devil it was delicious. My 14 month old son got addicted to pain au chocolat. Gamin de Paris in Mosman used to do those beautiful mini ones before they changed hands. sigh When we were in France last year I ordered what I thought was an almond croissant and it had chocolate and almond.

It all looks delightful, especially the cakes. Any French pastry filled with pastry cream wins my vote.
