Ostara Cream Puffs I

Celebratory Ostara dessert? Homemade, gluten-free cream puffs. We made - and baked - the choux pastry yesterday (NOTE TO SELF: DOUGH FELT TOO DRY DUE TO GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR; ADDED EXTRA EGG, WORKED PERFECTLY), but kept filling (custard cream), stuffing and topping (toffee almond crunch) making until today.

(The cheap ass plastic piping unit worked PERFECTLY until Italics and I shared a cream puff - ala Lady and the Tramp - but immediately after our passionate custard cream-flavored kiss everything came tumbling down Babel-style. <- At least it was a TASTY kiss of death and destruction?)
