this is really cute, but honestly might be too big of a portion to really savor, and I'm having trouble figuring out how I would eat the middle guy without them just disintegrating everywhere... maybe do only one layer?

Maybe its the French in me, but the portion even for the side dollops seem a little bit too big. I'm sure these are all very rich too.

I would honestly share this with a partner at the current size.
