Chicago｜Valentine’s Day Special Pastries 💌

Even carb-lovers deserve full-on romance on Valentine’s Day! 🌹 Rose Pistachio Croissant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Stunning shaping — looks almost like a model! Crispy, flaky outside, moist and soft inside with an even crumb and rich buttery aroma. The pistachio paste is thick and flavorful but not too sweet. Chilled cream filling adds a refreshing, milky touch. (The rose seems more for decoration — didn’t taste it much.) 🪻 Lavender Twist 🌟🌟🌟✨ A heart-shaped lavender pastry — crisp and crumbly, with a gentle floral aroma (not overpowering). Looks heavily sugared but surprisingly not too sweet. 🍒 Cherry Mascarpone Cruffin 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Looks dense but feels light in hand. Flaky croissant layers with a fermented butter scent, soft and moist inside. The cherry jam is balanced between sweet and tart, and the mascarpone cream is rich but perfectly proportioned. 🍫 Pain au Chocolat 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Another perfect crumb structure — I stared at the cross-section for ages! The croissant has a hint of cocoa mixed with buttery goodness. Toasted, it’s crispy outside, tender inside, with melted chocolate filling that’s just divine — not bitter, too sweet, or sour. Feels like around 80% dark chocolate. 🎀 The gift box also includes: Passion Fruit Bonbon, Raspberry Heart Chocolate, Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bar These are on the sweeter side — not as good as their regular bonbons. Also comes with a big heart-shaped chocolate 💗 that opens to hold a love note — so romantic! #RomanceInEveryBite #FoodIsLove #ChicagoBakeries #ValentinesSpecial #SimplePleasures
