The next to place in the box would surely be the Danish. This sweet confection made from dough rolled and folded with butter and spiced, and either nuts or dried fruit and baked. Drizzled with glace icing and filled with custard and cream.
Eclairs made of choux pastry as light as a feather with creamy fillings and thick chocolate on top comes in at number three.

The honey tongued Greeks gave rise to number four which is the luscious syrup drenched baklava. Layers of paper thin pastry filled with a concoction of butter, spices and nuts before baking and doused with honey sauce that is mouth-melting magnificent.
Delectable individual fruit flans filled with rich colored berries and other flavored fruits topped with whipped cream will take the last space in this gourmet selection of pastries.
