A blog about sinfully tasty desserts and wines. Named after a get together I have at my house on Wednesdays where I bake and serve sweet wines.

Piece Montee
I've been seeing this dessert everywhere lately. I believe it was the most recent Daring Baker's challenge. The first time I saw it, I fell in love with the idea of making it. It looked like an adventure to make and I'd been looking for an excuse to make it for a while. I finally got to make it for a Not-Going-Away party that I attended recently. I was actually very impressed with how it came out, and it received some pretty rave reviews. I found the recipe here and the only change I made was to add a bit of lemon zest to the pastry cream. I think I may have also overcooked the sugar syrup a bit. It tasted good, but my cream puffs stuck together like their little pastry lives depended on it!
