"Vault 101 had a small library of books, although they were all originally approved by Vault-Tec inspectors, like all the personal possessions of the original Vault inhabitants," Ellen says. "Some of them were pretty heavily edited compared to the original editions, but the cookbooks made it through even though most of them weren't really all that useful. Plus the Vault stores had a number of sealed prepackaged mixes that lasted a long time. You didn't really need to know how to make a cake if you could pay for one of those with your ration coupons. You just added water and mixed it up and put it in the oven for the appropriate amount of time."

As for the croissant, it doesn't seem to be a problem sweetness-wise. There is, however, the small matter of golden flakiness. Ellen is not really used to food that flakes off all over your fingers on contact, and there is going to be a bit of a mess in a moment.
