Eclairs are a tasty treat with all that chocolate and cream feeling, but this Burt Reynolds eclair might to be too strange to eat. Created by UK-based Lou Lou P's Delights, this dessert was made to mark Movember this year, but really, this eclair is great at any time of the year
This particular pastry sports a cartoon-like figurine of actor Burt Reynolds (complete with his glorious 270s stache) in the pose from his famous naked picture, lying on top of the eclair. This dessert is cheeky and fun for the ladies, so bite in and enjoy. Celebrate the mustache with this delicious Burt Reynolds eclair and keep the figurine when you're done.
