Our staff breakfast was this morning, and the danish were a hit. Of course I forgot to take pictures of the iced and plated final product, but I did remember to snap a (rather poor) shot of them before I closed up the boxes after baking and cooling last night. Bear claws and cheese diamonds in the foreground, and more bear claws and pinwheels with Bonne Maman four fruits preserves in the background.
Joe Pastry's recipe was terrific - lovely dough to work with. I had a few bear claws open up on me, but that was the only real technical issue. I refreshed them briefly this morning in a 250 degree oven with a pan of hot water on the lower oven rack for humidity and they tasted freshly-baked.
