Croissant-Making Tutorial

Sort of makes you want to buy a big stainless bench and a dough sheeting machine, doesn't it? In lieu of making your own, where's your favorite place for great croissants in Orange County? I'll give you mine – Layer Cake Bakery in Irvine. Crisp on the outside and tender-pully and buttery-moist on the inside, they're hard to beat if you get them fresh out of the oven in the morning!
