Cornetti alla crema, literally translated as "little-horns with custard",
are the most common brioches/croissants in Italy, a tradition for many of us
when it's breakfast time.
Here it is:

Note that it has no confectioner's sugar on it, but usually one finds them
with. It also helps to distinguish between the various fillings, at least in
my area: cornetti with custard usually have some confectioner's sugar over
them, while cornetti with jam (usually apricot) bear no sugar over it or big
grained sugar, while empty cornetti's have no sugar over them.
A cappuccino and a cornetto and you're in Italy
