National Creampuff Day

I've been known to engage a creampuff or two on occasion, sometimes ending up with a large swathe of custard or confectioner's creme across my face. Today is a celebration of that French pastry known as the creampuff.

Invented sometime in the mid 1500s it has been one of those indulgences I simply cannot help since I discovered them at some 'to-do' we were having and since then I typically go straight for them.

Don't know much about the day or why it exists, only the product and why I love them so much.

Anyway, and even though I seriously doubt that the day was formerly declared by congress ... Happy National Creampuff day to you.
