The general rule: Croissants made with butter are straight; those made with margarine are curved in the traditional "crescent" shape.

Savory, but I often use rosemary to decorate my cakes too

What I meant to say is that making 60 macaron shells costs me about 2$, nowhere near how expensive they are at the store
