This season, the Coquette core trend has made its way into various items, from adorable pink bows on cozy mugs to candy cane-inspired decorations on coupe glasses. Now, this charming and romantic style is influencing pastry designs as well. With a clever hack, you can achieve this look without being a professional baker.
Popular Instagram creator Sam Ushiro (@aww.sam) recently shared a quick crescent roll hack that only takes 15 minutes to complete. In a video that has garnered nearly 70K views, Sam demonstrates how to transform canned crescent rolls into a delightful treat.
This simple hack allows you to create coquette-inspired bow pastries using just a knife to cut the dough into ribbon-like shapes.
To make the pastry bows, start by unrolling the crescent dough and cutting it into rectangles. Pinch the edges and fold them towards the center, adding a strip of dough on top to form the bow center. Brush with egg wash and bake until golden brown.
These pastry bows are perfect for a holiday brunch or as a fun appetizer. You can also add fillings like cinnamon and sugar or spinach artichoke dip for a delicious twist.
Commenters have praised this hack for its simplicity and cuteness. Enhance the bows by adding pumpkin puree and spices for a tasty breakfast option.
This easy baking trick allows you to create professional-looking pastries without the need for precise measurements.
