At the bakery, we also used an apricot glaze, on the baked pastries, just a light wash, then topped w/confectioner's sugar glaze. The glaze helps keep them from drying out so quickly. My next 'big' project is a strudel. I used to make them all the time, on my oblong dining room table. I have a bunch of old linen table cloths that are my designated 'strudel cloths'...lol! I have to make smaller ones, down here. When are you guys gonna give strudel a go? Years ago, I'd sent PJH 'strudel cam' shots my hubby took, during the process. It really is a hoot, to make! Even my son enjoyed stretching the dough. It billows out like a sail, really cool! Laura Excellent suggestion, Laura! Strudel is also something I really would love to see a blog about! Kim@KAF
