So guys, poser that I am, I tried to make the fondant patissier that most sane people buy in the store when they want to make patisserie. It's the thing that makes the white glaze on top of the vanilla éclair, and you flavor it with coffee or chocolate for the other “parfums.” It all looked so ... read more
