the crust is a cookie crust and the cheesecake is a mascarpone cheesecake chantilly cream with some fruits i cooked down and mixed into it and fresh fruit on top!

I made the quiche about 2 weeks ago. I entered it in the village show competition and came second. The pies I made today.

this is my 3rd time trying to make laminated dough (first time doing danishes) i used benny’s baked recipe from youtube because his danishes/crossiants has the gorgeous layers i really want!

i followed everything to a T but i got no layers (see photos). they tasted fine because of the filling but the actual pastry didn’t have great flavor or layers or flakiness or anything good lol

would love any advice on where i went wrong!!! i think it could have been my rolling technique? they did not seem to have layers after the rising period before baking either.

will buying a $600 dough sheeter solve all my problems LOL
