Italian Pastries

Went to The Family Duck in Nicolosi this morning...you know...the Sunday morning cappuccino and intellectual discussion ritual. Anyway, you really have to love the Italian pasticceria. When you buy pastries to take home the packaging is unbelievable, it always looks so nice. So this morning I just had to buy this huge canolli like ricotta pastry. So here's how it looked:

The prize...the tray measures roughly 6"X9"



Here's another perspective - the mug holds 12 oz., 14 if you fill it to the rim.





Buon appetito!
