What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of pastries? You may think they are flaky, crunchy, full of flavor and delicious, but at the same time contain too much fat and calories, so are they worth eating pastries?
Well, it’s best to eat anything that’s too tasty but packed with calories, in moderation. That’s why you’ll want to indulge a little on December 9, because it’s National Pastry Day. So why not grab your favorite pastry and a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy every flavor? Let’s talk about your favorite pastry based on your zodiac sign.
Ram – Seasoned chorizo dough
Aries, you are the one who is fiery and full of energy and passion, and you appreciate everything that is hot and spicy. That is why the pastry you want to eat on National Patisserie Day is not a dessert pastry but an appetizer, the spicy chorizo pastry.
These are spicy sausages and peppers wrapped in puff pastry, which whet the appetite and then enjoy a hearty meal. Or you can enjoy these pastries as a snack at any time of the day. It doesn’t matter if they have that dessert feeling. You can even enjoy it with coffee in the morning for breakfast.
Taurus – Donut with every flavor
Taurus, you are the one who likes to stay in your comfort zone, but at the same time you are sensual and have a taste for everything that you find delicious. That’s why you go for the donut when you celebrate National Pastry Day.
Donuts are delicious yet predictable because you don’t have to worry about biting into a puff pastry and tasting something unpredictable inside. You decide the flavor of the donut yourself, because you choose glazed, chocolate, maple or funfetti. However, it is safe and delicious and perfect for you.
Gemini – Cinnamon Roll
Gemini, you are versatile and like variety. That’s why you go for the cinnamon roll on National Pastry Day. It is a pastry with different textures and flavors. You can enjoy the puff pastry as the glaze drips down and the taste of cinnamon that can sometimes overwhelm you.
Cinnamon rolls are far from boring, and you don’t like boring, which is why you would go for it. It is a perfect breakfast item to enjoy while starting your day with a cup of coffee.
Cancer – Churros bites with caramel dip
Cancer, you nurture and everything that represents family and home. So all you want to do is opt for anything that offers comfort, the homely feeling and the kind of pastries that would be ideal for those churro bites and some caramel sauce to dip them in.
These are small bite-sized churros pastries with some cinnamon and sugar as a layer. Nothing gives you more comfort than those churros snacks, which you dip in caramel sauce while relaxing on the couch watching your favorite shows with your family at home. So that’s what you want to do on National Pastry Day.
Leo – Eclair
Leo, you’re the one who likes to tell everyone, “go big or go home,” because you’re definitely going big and not going home, and you want everyone to notice that you’re doing that. You go for all things big and exciting, and the pastry you’ll enjoy is the eclair on National Pastry Day.
The eclair is a French pastry characterized by a long elongated dough tube filled with whipped cream and pastry cream, covered in chocolate. That’s far from a boring pastry, and you don’t like boring, so this is perfect for you.
Virgo – Croissant
Virgo, you are the analytical one who is good at details. You are also organised, health-conscious and service-oriented. You don’t like pastries because they’re not the healthiest snack, but you make an exception and enjoy them for breakfast on National Pastry Day.
You like everything simple, which means that the pastries you want to have that day are not full of fillings and do not have icing around them. On the morning of National Patisserie Day, go for the traditional croissant with a cup of coffee and celebrate the day. It may not be the healthiest breakfast, but it doesn’t contain the fillings and glazes and is simple.
Libra – Cannoli
Libra, you are all about balance and beauty. And one of the most beautiful and luxurious pastries that suits you perfectly is the cannoli. The cannoli has a sweet ricotta filling with chocolate pieces and other tasty delicacies.
The fried dough envelops it and the symmetrical fold provides balance for this perfect treat. That’s why you enjoy a cannoli with a cup of latte on National Patisserie Day, because it’s the perfect way to celebrate the day in a luxurious café.
Scorpio – Chocolate croissant
Scorpio, you are the intense one who likes to unravel mysteries while remaining mysterious. So if there were a perfect pastry for you, it might be the chocolate croissant.
Yes, you see, there is a lot of drizzle on the croissant, but what makes this pastry perfect for you is that you never know how much chocolate you will enjoy in the pastry. It may be a lot of chocolate gooeyness or chocolate chips, or it may not be much.
Sagittarius – Fruitcake
Sagittarius, you are the optimistic one who loves to experience any adventure, big or small. And enjoying a pastry for as long as you enjoy it can sometimes be an adventure, especially if you’re trying one you’ve never tried before. However, the fruit pie dough is perfect for you.
The pastry is colorful, and your optimistic side goes well with that, because the fruit on the pastry gives it a bright appearance. And it is a wonderful experience to enjoy every piece of this pastry with the different fruits.
Capricorn – Lemon Tart
Capricorn, you are a hard worker, take everything seriously and appreciate everything that is refined. The pastry that suits you shows that someone who created it took the time and energy to create a masterpiece, and that type of pastry is the lemon tart.
Whoever in the kitchen who made this lemon tart seemed to have put so much effort into this beautiful dessert, but it is not that complex, even though the appearance suggests otherwise. However, there is a sophisticated touch to it. There’s no better treat for a Capricorn to enjoy on National Pastry Day.
Aquarius – Cronut
Aquarius, you are the one who likes to stand out because you are the ultimate non-conformist. So you don’t go for a typical pastry, but for a pastry that stands out just a little bit more. That’s why the cronut is best for you.
It is an unusual pastry, like a donut, consisting of croissant dough fried in grapeseed oil and a sweet filling inside. The pastry has been around for about ten years and was founded by French chef Dominique Ansel.
Pisces – Boston Cream Donut
Pisces, you are artistic and dreamy and always looking for an escape when life can be challenging, and that’s when you can get creative. However, sometimes you want to enjoy something tasty to retreat from the hard world. Therefore, the Boston Cream donut can be a good choice for you when it comes to the best desserts.
You can enjoy the sweetness of the chocolate covering the donut, and the dreamy custard filling makes this pastry perfect for you. That’s a pastry that can give you a temporary refuge from life.
