Positives: These taste exactly like the ones at my favorite bakeries back in Israel! Yum!<br/><br/>Negatives: I ate too many and now I have a stomach ache.<br/>Notes: (1) I left out the coconut and the pecans (my favorite bakeries didn't use them) so I whipped the frosting for a couple minutes to help it thicken up. (2) It makes a little too much frosting (a lot of over-spillage while rolling) so you could probably cut the frosting ingredients by 20-30% and have just the right amount, and (3) "Makes 6 pastries" ? It (happily) made me 25!<br/>Thank you!!
