I've probably posted this picture before, but I was trying out my new camera and this is the result. I'm quite pleased that it does such a good job without flash.
I just made another batch of Dutch almond pastries, which I'll be mailing to a friend to test how well they hold up going through the mail. My daughter made a simple suggestion that cuts the assembling time into a fraction of what it was, so I'll be looking into taking orders from other people and possibly mailing them.
I have no idea why I can't post pictures in order. I put the Boddhisatwa up first, and wanted the pastry picture under it.

I want to try the pastries too! Especially if they are shaped like the statue. Maybe we could come up with a mold for them. And then we could decorate them with a dry brush to bring out the textures in the drapery and face and headdress and such. And then we could cast an animation spell, or perhaps make them a doppleganger of Elaine or the Land-Venturing Squid or Mr. M. or Cotton Mather or Elvis, or the last two as Siamese twins or two Elaines as Siamese twins, sorta like Pet Sematary, but with lost soul-animated pastries shaped like figures from Eastern cultures or Disney Princesses (are they mutually exclusive? perhaps not always; take Elaine for example)but not like the Muffin Man on Shrek which was obviously demon-animated and not an American Indian fetish creature either. These are definitely vessels to capture ghosts, and thus are quite desirable by those who have undesirable hauntings, not like Ghost Busters, because the Pillsbury Dough Boy was not a Disney Princess, despite what he may tell you, but more like oriental ghost houses, except they can't escape unless someone eats the pastry. I wonder if we could sell them at circuses and county fairs. It would be great if eating the pastry would induce the ghost to possess the person who ate the pastry. Then the rurals who consumed them at the county fairs would be possessed, and you could feed them to the champion steer or nanny goat to put ghosts into them, or let ants carry one away. I wonder if there could be a group haunting, especially among insects that have social colonies or swarms, or even with birds during flocking behaviors, or schools of fish, or infestations of roaches or lice.
