I actually did freeze the cream puffs and eclairs after baking, and my husband has been enjoying the cream puffs as the occasional dessert :) I cannot attest to the re-crisping in the oven, because we usually just pop them in the microwave for 15 seconds to thaw them a bit, but they taste great!

I was wondering if you had tried freezing any of the cream puffs after baking? They say you can re-crisp them after, but some people seem to think that doesn't work.. Some people suggest freezing before baking. Thanks! Hi, I love your blog! I was wondering if you had tried freezing any of the cream puffs after baking?

I use one of the jumbo star-shaped tips for big cream puffs. Technically I guess you don't really need a tip -- just cut the end of the disposable bag to the right size and the opening will be your tip.

All depends on what you're trying to make. Bite-sized eclairs? #005 Atecco Tip Med-Large sized? #008/#009 Atecco Tip Depending on how good you are with the piping bag, cream puffs can be made with any sized tip. Small tips will just take longer and be more difficult to get an evenly shaped ball :) Tip size? All depends on what you’re trying to make.
