These cream puffs were a disappointment. The shells were too soft and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cream puffs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

Meh. These cream puffs were okay, but not great. The shells were a bit tough, and the filling was too sweet for my taste. I won't be making these again.
