I’m not exactly sure why when the weather turns nice, I’m inspired to spend more time buried in the kitchen.  Desserts have never been my thing, but for some reason I’ve recently found myself craving the creation of some sweet treats.

A quick flip through the April issue of Martha Stewart was precisely what I needed…

Here was my version of Martha’s Mini Eclairs with Strawberries and Cream.  The light fluffy pastries were packed with subtly sweet whipped cream, jammed with macerated strawberries, fresh mint and finally dusted with a shower of delicate powdered sugar.

Delicious.
