Paris-Brest Take 2

I am practicing my Paris-Brest cake for my trial day on Saturday.  Take 1 was hampered by difficulty with my pate a choux.  But all was corrected for take 2 (well mostly all.  I could have cooked the pate a choux a little more, and I should have egg washed the pate a choux before baking.).  But I'm happy with the results now and think this will be okay for the stage. 

Paris-Brest cake: half filled with lemon pastry cream and powdered sugar, half filled with vanilla pastry cream


A slice shows nice proportion of cream, although I might try a little more pastry cream next time.


Here's the cake before the top is replaced.  I portioned the top for easier serving.
