A cake for my nephew…and what is that on top? Crumbled bacon and grated chocolate. And of course there is bacon between the chocolate cake layers!

The Windmill version of the New York cronut. The dough is a modified puff pastry. Once fried they are rolled in sugar, filled with a delightful pastry cream, then drizzled with a cream glaze. Mmmm-mmm good! They take 2 days to make, so it will be a weekend item rather than daily. We are calling them cream donuts until we think of a name. Any ideas?

I’ve seen adults who couldn’t finish a whole Windmill donut, but this little guy did it!
