Lore

Frances’s handshake is a miniature buffet rather than one single pastry. The verified description pairs choux tomatoes with carrot canapés and cauliflower-cheese scones, asking for variety without losing coherence across 36 pieces. It is a semifinal bake in the truest sense: production, consistency, and presentation all matter at once.
