About 8 months ago I finally posted a small entry on one of my favorite Chicago bakeries - Pasticceria Natalina. At the time I didn't have any great pictures of their pastry and felt that the report didn't really do justice to the work their shop is producing.
I went back the other day and Nick and Natalie had some great pastries and cookies in the shop to photograph. Of course, I can't remember the names of any of them, but I think the pictures pretty much speak for themselves.
And in case you are wondering, they do taste as good as they look. Probably better.

Why must you always make me ravenous with your beautiful photos?
So cruel.
