CANELÉ
Store in the freezer. To refresh your canelé, set your oven at 425 F and bake for 5 minutes. Let the canelé come to room temperature to form the crunchy outer layer before consuming.
TARTS
All tarts can be kept in the refrigerator. It is best to cut them with a serrated knife while they are cold. Firmly press down with the knife until it cuts the crust. Each tart yields 8 slices.
BAKE AT HOME CROISSANTS
Bake at home kits should always be kept frozen. Take them out the night before you want to bake them, and assemble on a sheet pan from frozen. Allow ample space between each croissant (2-3 inches). Wrap the tray in plastic wrap or foil so they do not dry out and let them proof at room temperature overnight. You can brush with egg wash (1 egg yolk + 2 TBSP milk) but it's not necessary right before baking. Bake at 375 F until golden brown, check at 15 minutes depending on your oven but will usually be done around 20. If you think they need more time, set a timer for 3 minute increments.

Store your bread pudding and accompanying creme anglaise in the refrigerator. To refresh your croissant bread pudding, set your oven to 325 and bake for 5-10 minutes just to warm through. Pour creme anglaise over and enjoy.
