To prepare, simply remove the pastry from its packaging. It can be eaten as is, at room temperature. For a warm and gooey experience, place the pastry in a toaster on a low setting. Alternatively, it can be heated in a microwave for a shorter period. Be mindful of the frosting melting if heated for too long. The goal is to warm the filling and soften the crust.
