With all the anticipation for the grand opening of Melissa’s Pastry Boutique, we could barely contain ourselves and needed our sugar fix NOW!  To help us out, Melissa herself offered to throw a few recipes our way, in order to get us through the next couple of weeks until they open.

To be honest though, I think that she believes (and probably rightfully so) that we will make a complete mess of this recipe and come begging with even more gusto. Then again, this seems simple enough, maybe just maybe, we might be able to pull this one off….
