Description Matcha, taro and strawberry! Creams puffs are lovely.

The strawberry filling was more loose than the others because it had strawberry puree folded into it and made it liquidy. Note to self: a strawberry/raspberry flavored buttercream? Pastry cream doesn't seem to work with the strawberry.

I love these more than cupcakes because you can take any vanilla cream puff filling recipe, divide it and mix in different flavorings. It's really good for parties or handing out to friends, but make the filling the night before and the cream puffs on the same day you're eating it.

I don't really like the photo. >_> I had a hard time getting them all in focus or at least not making one flavor too blurry... and then the cream was melting and looking too misshapen at times. Mantra: Work fast! Work fast! @_@

(Sorry for the lack of jewelry and still life photography posts. I'll try to balance things out more.)

Aww thank you! That's such a great idea... funny how I don't think I ever ate them with my tea or coffee. (I was too busy tasting as I was making XD ) The bitter would balance the sweet... hmm

Yeah! My first batch barely rose in the oven! This one was about... my third time. XD It helped that I looked online for tips.

^_^ Those are my favorite kinds of dessert and they tend to use more techniques to make, so I must practice!

Yesss! It's lighter and a wee bit healthier than buttercream. XD

As a sweets addict I can't help but ask for a recipe

Um, I can't give the actual recipe since I don't own it, but I HIGHLY recommend watching in youtube Alton Brown's Good Eats episode called Choux Shine. I didn't use his recipe but his technique is more important and then after that, you can use any popular cream puff recipe online.
