This thing. (Not made by me)
A few years ago I started making it, and my family love it enough that I’ve made it about ten times since. I often get asked to make it for occasions like birthdays and such. I have heard that it is hard to make, but I haven’t had problems with it. I’ve even tweaked the recipe I’ve used so that it tastes better. What do you all think? (And what is the actual English name for this, I’m Norwegian and couldn’t find the English name for exactly this)

Uhhhh. Napoleon is actually the proper english name for it. The only issue that threw me off for a minute is the fact that in north america, they do multiple layers of the cake and cream where as you did a layer on the bottom, filling, and then a top layer.
Depending on how much time. The size. Etc. It can be anywhere on avarage from 4 layers of cake pastry and cream. All the way up to 13 layers. It depends on how tall you are making it. The thickness of each layer. Etc.
Hope this has been helpful.
EDIT: French name is Mille-Feuille.
It depends on whether I make the puff pastry myself or not. If I don’t, it’s easy. I tried making the puff pastry myself once and failed miserably, but I need to try again.
