Yes, I made swan shaped cream puffs. They are really very fun to make, and surprisingly not hard. First you pipe a tear drop shaped choux puff and some almost "s" shaped choux decorations (for the neck and head). Then, after baking, cut the top third (or so) off the tear drop and cut the top part in half length wise. Now there's a body to fill and two wings. We filled the body with pastry cream and then piped whipped cream on top to make it swan-like and full. If I do these again, I'd probably leave out the pastry cream, it's kind of overkill and I like whipped cream so much. Then we stuck the neck/heads in the whipped cream, dusted the wings with powdered sugar and stuck them in, and voila, swans!
