Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry until it's about 1/8 inch thick, then slice into strips about 1 inch wide.
  3. Wrap the pastry strips around a cream horn mold in a spiral fashion, overlapping slightly and moistening ends.
  4. Transfer wrapped molds to the baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool on the molds for 20 minutes.
  6. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and shortening, then gradually add sugar, fluff, and vanilla until creamy.
