I know there are different types, the traditional Italian ones and also the Russian and Ukrainian Napoleans. Basically a multi layered pastry that uses that special flaky dough for the crust and has layeres of creamy custard. Very very good tasting.

Num num. My favorite is from a franchise bakery named La Madeleine.

My wife has me order her Nepoleon every year on her birthday instead of cake.

I've had homemade Ukrainian Napolean since I was a kid. Tasty as ****.... But loaded with massive amounts of sugar.
