I have been really want­ing to have sfoil­letella. It’s an Ital­ian pas­try that in Eng­lish you’d call a lob­ster tail. I adore these pas­tries & really I adore all pas­tries. I am a pastry-slut, I’m not proud of it but I am what I am.

Recently I was watch­ing Cake Boss & saw them again. How­ever, no Ital­ian bak­ery that was open at that time. Damn them for hav­ing lives and not being open at night to fuel my crav­ings. MOMMY WANTS HER PASTRY!!

But given I’m chock full of inge­nu­ity I real­ized that instead of hav­ing the orig­i­nal Hubby & I were going to have to put our col­lege edu­ca­tions to work. That post sec­ondary edu­ca­tion has to be good for some­thing, right?

We decided to go high-class with what I am going to call my “White Trash Pas­try”. We had to make use of what was around the house. We had waf­fle cones but no ice cream. We had frost­ing but no cake mix & not enough of the right ingre­di­ents to attempt to make one on our own & besides let’s be real bak­ing wasn’t going to hap­pen then anyway.

Granted the final prod­uct was NO were near my crav­ing but hey when there’s no bak­ery open, you (or Hubby) don’t want to get in the car (it was HOT & no amount AC was going to cut it), & you have lit­tle to work with you can be sur­prised what you will try. After falling into a sugar coma with Hubby by my side I still don’t regret eat­ing it. Even if it was shame­ful that we made it & con­sumed every last bite.

Ingre­di­ents:

Here’s the final product:

And heck why not do as Hubby did to round out the classy treat:

*btw the link is to the actual bak­ery fea­tured on Cake Boss, I’m now going to wipe the drool off my face after look­ing at their pas­tries online.
