Cream Puffs and Eclairs for Mother's Day (and brownies too)

Having recently learned how to make Pâte à Choux I thought I'd give my Mum some freshly made cream puffs and eclairs for Mother's Day. Also made a batch of brownies in the as-seen-on-tv brownie pan that my Mum gave to me a while ago.

The pâte à choux recipe is one that I learned in a croquembouche making class that I took at the Bonnie Gordon School of Confectionery Arts just last week. Much easier than I ever thought. Takes a little planning and some time commitment, but the results are well worth it.
Croquembouche = crunch in the mouth
