The cream puffs were a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

The cream puffs were good, but I thought the filling was a bit too sweet. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a very experienced baker. But I'm so glad I did! The cream puffs were amazing. I will definitely be making them again.
