This image feels too top heavy for me ?

Pastries are bad for cholesterol

• High in saturated and trans fats:
  Pastries often contain butter, shortening, and sometimes hydrogenated oils, which are solid fats that can raise LDL cholesterol.
  
  
• High in sugar:
  The added sugars in pastries can lead to higher blood triglycerides, which are another type of unhealthy blood fat.
  
  
• High in calories:
  Many pastries are dense in calories, which can contribute to weight gain and inflammation, both of which can negatively affect cholesterol levels.
  
  
• Low in nutrients:
  These baked goods often lack essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

So here’s the uncropped original! As to nutrition, it’s a treat and part of a rare addition so has no consequence on health!

Butter does not harm. This restaurant would never use lesser fats! It’s has no added glucose. Fructose might be there from fruit.

Glucose is fine for those who exercise! It’s just a balance of fuel!

These aren’t “many pastries: just one, “Carrot Cake” to share on a birthday celebration, LOL!

• Low in nutrients:

This restaurant, only uses thr finest fresh I grdients but if one just ate and watched TV, no matter how healthy the diet, one would suffer obesity, hypertension and early demise!

When I was a kid, "Macarons" were a pastry made of ground almonds, egg whites and sugar. They were soft inside and really good. Only later I discovered that Parisians backers (Ladurée) ruined the concept by presenting them as a sugar glazed sandwich filled with ganache and with garish colours.

Jérôme,

That’s do good to know as I love almond flavored croissants and other baked goods. Have you come across a recipé for genuine Macarons?

I’ll get my wife to make them happen and report back!

In one of the links:

So: as much sugar as almonds, on egg white per 125g of almonds and bake at medium heat.
