Every year, my sister requested this exact cake for her birthday. This cake features layers of graham crackers and French vanilla pudding, topped with a simple chocolate sauce. It then spends a night in the fridge to mingle and marry, resulting in a dessert paradise where the creamy sweetness of the vanilla pudding softens the graham crackers, while the bitterness of the chocolate frosting balances it all out, just like a classic French éclair. 

There are few things more summery to me than a strawberry shortcake so this is a fun way to spice up your delivery by making them choux “cakes” instead! Take a warm weather classic and put on your pastry hat with these cute little choux buns, filling them with fresh whipped cream and topping with macerated strawberries.
