Check out those Chicks!

It must be getting close to Easter... we're making buckets of meringue at Patisserie Phillipe and creating flocks of chicks.Phillipe, of course, can crank out these babies at lighning speed...while I painstakingly pipe on wings, beaks and Elvis top feathers.
The Easter chicks are just a little sidebar to the rest of the morning schedule: almond croissants, coconut macaroons, fraisier cake, sheeting tart dough, puff and cinnamon rolls.
Check out Patisserie Phillipe's site... http://www.patisseriephilippe.com/. He is my pastry mentor and truly the master of all things French!

  1. These are so cute! Are they marshmallowy like Peeps? Or crunchy like baked meringue?

  2. they are a baked Italian meringue--you could make them yourself with the right piping tips!
