Gateau St. Honore

On Fridays, I don't have any school. So, what do I like to do? Let me think..... Bake, of course! What else?
Well, today I undertook a project I have been planning to master for a long time. To make a Gâteau St. Honoré!
What is this you may ask.... It is a classic french dessert consisting of Puff Pastry, pâte à choux, Crème Pâtissière (vanilla and chocolate), and Caramel. It is named after the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, St. Honore.
Here is the finished Dessert!
