pastry

Description

Pastry is the morning temptation that hides guilt within layers of butter. Its glossy exterior seduces the eye, inviting a solitary reckoning on the scale later. Light as a croissant’s flake yet heavy with regret, it’s the archetype of sinful baked goods. Each bite is a bittersweet dialogue between indulgence and conscience.
