Walking into an Italian bakery is overwhelming. The display cases are stacked with ample pastries to choose from, and each one tastes just as decadent as the next. How are we expected to walk out with just one pastry in hand?
Most of the time we don’t. And that’s totally understandable. The lobster tails look so amazing with their crispy shells overflowing with cream, and the pignoli amaretti cookies appear fresh out of the oven, smelling divine.
You no longer have to be pulled in by the temptation. This quiz will solve the life long question as to which Italian pastry you relate to the most based on your birth month personality. So next time you walk into a bakery, you’ll know right away which pastry to get.

Motivated, quick to make decisions, and adventure seeking; you don’t have time for some basic pastry. That’s why you’re struffoli! A giant plate of tiny, crispy balls of dough smothered in honey and sprinkles. Outstanding!

June babies are made of layers. Caring, visionaries, loyal, and talkative. All these layers can only lead to the fact that you’re really a sfogliatella! Sorry for outting you, but those crispy layers couldn’t hide your soft and sweet center.

Pizelle
You’re honest, approachable, and fun to be with! That’s weird, because I’ve heard the same things said about pizelle….They name comes from the Italian word “pizze”, meaning round and flat. Just like pizza! Are you pizza too?
The answer is:

Cannoli
Ah, the cannoli. Meaning “little tubes”, this crispy pastry filled with a rich (usually ricotta) filling comes from the bottom of the boot, Sicily. And like Sicilians, being born in August makes you a brave leader with a good spirit.

Since September babies tend to be more reserved and sensitive, the biscotti is your perfect match! Traditionally, this cookie is twice baked, made with almonds, and dipped in a beverage (most commonly coffee). It’s a classy and delicate treat, just like you!

Ladyfinger Biscuits
Being sympathetic, friendly, and a dreamer are the qualities you share with ladyfinger biscuits. These sponge cookies are extremely versatile. They’re the base of many dessert recipes, such as tiramisu. However, they’re perfectly fine just as they are (but dipping them in coffee never hurts).

Butterballs
Being born in the final month of the year leaves you loyal and generous with a great sense of humor! Butterballs are just like you! When eaten straight out of the oven, these babies are always generously warm and nutty. As for the sense of humor… I guess rolling them around is fun!
