Hii I’m really into Japanese pastries…but one I really really like is the duomo ones I don’t really like the matcha one because I’m not a big fan of matcha but uh I saw some pink ones and yellow ones two around the back. I’m dying to learn how to make duomos like those.

If you do know please email me at BabyAngelLover4@hotmail.com
I am really desperate!

Well I went there too and I just wish I’d tried more things after reading you and Bea..or gone back a second time at least. I love that top photo of the 2 tea green round things + the sesame eclaire. It’s so helpful to hear what a pro has to say on these creations. I’m transfixed by your descriptions…

Your eclairs look fantastic!

And I like your strategy of making what you can’t buy when you’re not in Paris… I have a couple recipes in the works to simulate what I ate and saw there. And when I find Matcha tea, I want to make your eclairs!

It’s such a shame that fondant is hard to find for everyday consumers, even though it’s everywhere in pastry shops and culinary schools. I found these links to recipes for quick versions, but I haven’t tried them yet…

This one involves heating it to the soft ball stage and probably produces something close to what we use

This one just gently heats up the ingredients and might be acceptable in a pinch (personally I don’t think the clear vanilla flavoring called for is necessary)
