“Fresh out of the oven”

🔵🔵🔵🟡

🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. Nothing too taxing here. The theme of "Fresh out the oven" can only refer to a handful of things, and as soon as I found CROISSANT in the top-right corner, I realized this was going to be about pastries.

But I didn't get that spangram right away, because I was distracted by the two other answers on the right side of the board: DANISH in the bottom right, and SCONE above it. Only then was I ready to connect PASTRIES, which zig-zagged with perfect symmetry between the answers I'd already found.

Three words were left to find on the opposite side. I found STRUDEL in the top left, and then MUFFIN written downwards next to it. That only left GALETTE to find to complete the puzzle.
