Hillary's Birthday Pastries

Today our student Hillary turned 20!  Here is a picture with all the students that we took this week.  Hillary is the first one on the front row in the white shirt.

Hillary came with a few other students to the apartment after church.  We couldn't let a birthday go by without a French pastry to celebrate the big day.  The White Bakery has the fanciest pastries on Sundays.  For example, on Sundays they have not just plain old mille feuilles, but raspberry or strawberry mille feuilles.

As we described all the choices, Hillary couldn't decide which she wanted to try.  So we got five different ones for everybody to share.  Kelly's favorite is the chocolate eclair.  Going clockwise in the picture below, we also got a raspberry mille feuille, a pecan pie (and that's what they call it-they use the English!), a tartelette fraise and a tarte aux cerise (cherry).


We had never tried the pecan pie before and it was excellent.  In fact, everything was really good.  We were glad we had Hillary's birthday for an excuse to indulge.
