A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main forms

    Lay out two short cylinders at different angles with one overlapping the other.

  2. Build the structure

    Curl the pastry seams around each tube and shape the visible cream at the ends.

  3. Develop selected details

    Add a few chocolate chips and gray accents inside the openings and overlaps.

A small thing to tryKeep both pastry openings aligned with the axes of their cylinders.
