To enjoy this pastry, you can eat it directly from the package. For a warmer, softer texture, it can be heated. Place it in a toaster oven or a conventional oven at a low temperature for a few minutes until warmed through. Be careful not to overheat, as the frosting can melt quickly. It can also be heated briefly in a microwave, though this may alter the crust's crispness. Serve as is for a simple indulgence.
