Pastry and cocoa ill teacher ordered (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chocolate eclair

'pastry' is the definition.
(chocolate eclair is a kind of pastry)

'cocoa ill teacher ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'cocoa'+'ill'+'teacher'='cocoaillteacher'
'cocoaillteacher' with letters rearranged gives 'CHOCOLATE ECLAIR'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chocolate eclair that I've seen before include "pastry" , "cake" .)
