Croissant of Power
The finest pastry this side of the Styx!
A light, fluffy, sweet, and buttery pastry imbued with mystical powers and a mildly addictive taste. Made with sugar derived from Hexcomb honey, it possesses magical powers that are poorly understood, but is known to induce a mild euphoria upon consumption, and are said to make the consumer stronger in some ill defined way. It is probably best to not ask where the butter comes from.
Invented by the Vampiric baker Andres Piscine, the Croissant of Power is an incredibly difficult pastry to obtain due to its reliance on Hexcomb, which is equally difficult to obtain. Typically if a Soul wanted one, they would have to provide the Hexcomb first.
What's that? Make it into a donut shape? Are you mad?
This is a fun set of articles, I'm enjoying the culinary theme! I'm looking forward to the article about Andres Piscine, and learning a bit more about how it ties together and how widely available these pastries are.
