French baking

I have an off and on dream of someday, when I'm settled and know more what I'm doing with my life to open a bakery. I want it to be sort of half like the cool hip bakery on "Stranger than Fiction," and half like the boutique style bakery, sophisticated and classy like on "It's complicated." Somewhere with amazing french pastries, and maybe a coffee shop where you'd want to hang out, study or chat with friends, maybe have a romantic dessert with a loved one in the evening, but also somewhere that you would want to order things out for a big party or to take to the office.  I normally enjoy baking immensely, if I'm not in a hurry or too stressed.  I like to try new things every now and then, trying out new recipes to see if they cut it for my future establishment, or just to make my classic recipes that I know I love already.  Yesterday was one of those experimental days to try out a recipe I'd been thinking about.  It has once has continued to rain since my last post about the rain, and we had planned another movie night, so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to test some eclairs out on my friends.  Although it started... and ended kind of rough due to the lack of supplies and appliances SE Alaska, and my company housing has to offer, I feel it was an overall success, and I would love to make them again when I have more things available at home.
