Cutting these Napoleons into pieces killed me. To make them, we rolled out some more of our puff dough and baked it with a cookie sheet on top to weigh it down. Once cooled it was cut in half and layered with French pastry cream {milk, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, butter; whipped cream is then folded in} and strawberries. To decorate, melted white fondant is poured on top and chocolate fondant is drizzled across and scored with a paring knife. THEN this perfectly layered and decorated pastry had to be carefully cut into pieces, which caused the fondant to smear all over the place. Sigh. Better luck next time.
