Cream Puffs


Cream Puffs are one of those pastries that you look for at every dessert table. As you stand in line, peeking anxiously over the five shoulders in front of you, your eyes scan the table feverishly for those little puffs. There's the Cheesecake, in three different flavors. And then the chocolate-covered strawberries. The pink, frothy punch hails you from the end of the table. But where are the cream puffs and eclairs? Ah yes, a feeling of relief washes over you. There they are, squeezed in between the brownies and dirt pudding. And then you wait impatiently, smiling distractedly at those who pass by and give a word of greeting, until it's your turn to pile those scrumptious treats upon your dish. Don't these people know you're only here for the dessert?
