Viennoiseries (French for 'Viennese specialties') are baked goods made from a yeast leavened dough in a manner similar to bread, or from puff pastry, but with added ingredients (particularly eggs, butter, milk, cream and sugar) giving them a richer and/or sweeter character, approaching that of pastry. The dough is often laminated. Viennoiseries are typically eaten at breakfast or as snacks.
Examples include croissants, Vienna bread and its French version the baguette viennoise, brioches, pain au chocolat, pain au lait, pain aux raisins, chouquettes, Danish pastries, bugnes, and chausson aux pommes.

This has been a great week and inspirational for at home baking, be forewarned all of the following items are delicious and will cause increase in weight if consumed too heavily, with that in mind they certainly impress the pants off your friends.
So these are not particularly difficult to make believe it or not, they just take time for perfection, the dough needs days to ferment and rest honestly the only time I was stressed out was trying to cut the patterns in the pithiviers.
An 8 inch circle of puff pastry
Frangipane (Puff pastry with almond cream)
Egg wash
Stress cuts!
But wait there's more...
Croissants filled with sauteed vegetables and curry.
The first picture was a savory croissant that kinda exploded.
