At some bakeries, like La Patisserie P in Chicago's Little Saigon, you have to look to the ground to find the best desserts. This Euro-Asian pastry shop has plenty of cakes, croissants and cookies lining its top shelves, while tasty treats like cream horns get shoved to the lowest tier.
I shudder to think this is some sort of pastry ranking system.
The cream horn, often connoted with sugar-rich, pre-packaged fluff, breaks its stereotypical mold at La Patisserie P. It might lack the flair of a frosted cookie and its strange cone-shape may make for awkward nibbling, but the simple treat should not be overlooked. The puff pastry's flakey layers can be broken into perfect bite-sized crescents and its thick, smooth center ensures a good mouthful of cream with each taste.
I'm not saying that cream horns should take the lead at this Argyle sweets shop. The place is, after all, famous for its variety of meat-stuffed buns, sesame seed balls and French-inspired Opera cake. But they certainly warrant a spot above La Patisserie P's standard M&M and chocolate chip cookies, which sit proudly on the bakery's second highest shelf.
