Frequently Asked Questions
Many pastries can be prepared in advance - just check the individual recipes for specific make-ahead instructions and storage tips.
Absolutely! Many of these recipes work beautifully on a pastry board. Since guests often like to sample everything, consider making items smaller or cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Grab and go items - like scones, muffins, and puff pastry bites - are perfect for mingling and moving around. Larger items such as cinnamon rolls and coffee cakes are a great addition to buffets alongside egg dishes, especially when guests already have plates and utensils.
Most pastries will stay fresh for several hours at room temperature. Bake or reheat them the morning of your brunch, then keep them loosely covered - a linen napkin works well - to prevent them from drying out while still allowing steam to escape.
