Cream puffs ...

At least that is what i grew up calling them :) Although when I was growing up vanilla beans weren't quite as easy to come by. I couldn't resist using vanilla beans instead of the usual vanilla essence.

The Queen of Hearts....

The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts
He stole the tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.
