Fantastic patisserie doesn't need PR, in my opinion (2,1,3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

as i see it

'in my opinion' is the definition.
(both might be said before giving an opinion)

'fantastic patisserie doesn't need pr' is the wordplay.
'fantastic' is an anagram indicator (a fantastic or improbable ordering of the letters).
'doesn't need' is a deletion indicator.
'patisserie' with 'pr' taken away is 'atisseie'.
'atisseie' with letters rearranged gives 'AS I SEE IT'.

(Other definitions for as i see it that I've seen before include "In my judgement" , "IMO" , "In my opinion" , "in my view" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
