Napoleon
A small, single serving, rectangular shaped dessert pastry. It's made with alternating layers of puff pastry and the cream of your choice. Usually it's topped with either a glaze, a dusting of powdered sugar, fondant, or a thin icing.

@I'm looking for a Napoleon Pastry recipe, with the custard filling between the flaky pastry,, with white frosting and chocolate striping.

In French they're called "mille feuilles", ie "a thousand leaves". :) I've never found good ones here! :(

Napoleons are amazing. Interestingly though, I first had them in a bakery in Chinatown.
